For £50 you're asking a lot.

Not being funny but the best place for an MOT failure is a MOT station, often people leave the car there to cover the cost of repairs or the test itself. Get friendly with a few garages, tell them what your after, how much you wana spend and leave your number. Something may come up for you

For £50 you're asking a lot of rubbish.
