Vauxhall Astra 09- MOT Failure Repair cost

Michael23

I received test results back from an MOT, which was failed. The garage is currently putting together a quote for repairs before begin MOT'd again.

I the meantime, I wanted to get a quick estimate on the cost of repairs. Could anybody cost each item so to give me a ball park figure?

Thanks in advance!

Reasons for refusal of a test certificate:

Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))
Offside Headlamp aim so that beam "kick up" is not visible on the screen (4.1.2 (a))
Offside Headlamp light intensity severely reduced bulb incorrectly fitted (4.1.4 (a))
Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))

Rear lamps out, could be wiring, could have lost the earth,could be both bulbs gone- no idea..£5-50??????


Put the bulb in the headlight properly- do it yourself for nothing, but Halfords only charge £5 to fit one.
Drop links £15 the pair, 1/2 hour to do both- £50


Clean & adjust handbrake probably another £50 if no new parts required


so £150 should more than cover it I reckon.

The handbrake showing excessive play is often a sign of lack of maintenance and is likely to be the most costly.


£185 all in.
