MOT fail - repair cost?

katie241

Hi. My car recently failed its MOT on following items. Is anyone aware what could be the expected cost for these repairs? It's a Peugeot 206 (08 plate). Kent area.

• Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 (g) (ii))
• Offside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 (g) (ii))
• Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))

Many thanks.

Parts i'd expect well under £50, and probably 2 hours labour.
Did the MOT garage not quote for the repair?

Might make as much sense to swap the cv joints or even the driveshafts whole if the gaiters are actually split - if grot's got in there, the joints will wear quickly.

And one droplink - don't buy a cheapie, they don't last two minutes. A few quid more on a decent part is well spent.

That's what I normally do. Once the boots have split the damage is done.
