It would be much simpler just to phone them and ask...

I'm sure they'll come up with something - how about adjusting the headlights ? whose to say they did or didn't

Even if they did tweak the headlamp aim, it wouldn’t cost anything extra as you do it as part of the test. If it was a larger job, the PRS, but as long as the customer/presenter authorises the job. Then if an even bigger job, then the customer/presenter authorises it.

DVSA have done away with simple headlamp aim adjustment as a separate job from an MOT. You’ll be surprised how many MOT testers haven’t realised this.

Hello,
Hoping someone can help here. I had an MOT which passed without any additional work required. It is a 5-seat family car. I got an invoice through the post for £88.50. Here is the breakdown of costs;

Service / Labour Charge - £33.75
VAT at 20% - £6.75
MOT Certificate - £48.00
Amount Due - £88.50

Am I being ripped off here?! I always thought you paid a set fee for the MOT which included the cost of labour, e.g £45.00 or something like that? And if there was work done to pass it, then extra charges are applied?

I don't know why people post questions and then don't respond when others try to help.

OP just wants to know the legal situation before they query the garage.
