[argylefan1985]

Yes please, Car passed mot today :D costing me all of £22.50

anyone else get there mot`s that cheap or is it just me :D

[Luke]

Must be just you, mine is gonna be £50.

Why so cheap?

[DevilDamo]

I was under the impression an MOT test can cost no more than £47.50!?!

Something like that anyway.

[argylefan1985]

i know one of the mechanics at citroen so he does it through him £22.50 :D

gave him a tenner extra for his troubles and for turning a blind eye to my tinted front windows,

winner!

[DevilDamo]

Tinted windows are not checked as part of the MOT anyway hence why mine passes every time when I have it tested at Citroen.

[tom187]

Didn't know you could fail on front tints?

[DevilDamo]

Not during your MOT but the police can ask for them to be removed "if they're illegal".

[crashtestdummy]

as far as i knew standard mot's are 50.35
work for reg vardy so sorta have to keep up wi the prices lol
i get mine for 30 plus 10% off parts and i get discounted tyres labour oil etc and mates can go through me too!
its quite good! lol

Just for your information (window tints and MOT's)...

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_10016070

Tinted windows are not included in the MOT test, but the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) have started roadside checks to make sure tinted windows follow the Road Vehicle (Construction & Use) Regulations.

Here's a good link regarding window tints (which has been posted in the Problems & Queries section)...

http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/Tinted%20Windows%20Nov%202005.pdf

Excessively tinted glass is seen as a serious issue but one which
currently affects only a small number of the 24 million vehicles
tested annually. To include this item in the MOT test would require
all 18,000 garages to incur expenditure on special test equipment
and the time taken to carry out an MOT would increase. The MOT
fee would have to be raised to cover the extra time and investment.
This extra cost would affect all motorists - all for a small number of
vehicles. With the current levels of offending, roadside enforcement
is a better route as it targets the offenders while minimising the
cost and inconvenience to compliant road users.

[haggis44]

Even better! Do you turn a blind eye when its your own car or not?

no i dont, i would rather keep my car in tip top shape, so that when the boys in blue pull me over, there is NOTHING illeagle on my car, i also like to point out to them that im an m.o.t. tester, and i could happily inspect their car and see if it would pass an m.o.t, they havent let me yet........i wonder why that is??

So thats true then, that you can inspect the police car?? I've heard that off a lad a while ago but i didnt know whether it was true or not!

[Saxo-Slag]

tenna for turning a blind eye to something that isnt tested lol:homme:

[Easty]

[rob_s]

can get them at a trade price still cant beat your price thoe,£36,but if it fails its another £20 to re test

[argylefan1985]

tenna for turning a blind eye to something that isnt tested lol:homme:

yeah well still loads cheaper than everyone else round here gets them, plus most garages around here fail for tints, they had my mate remove his.

plus he is a mate and does all my work cheap anyway so pays to keep him sweet

[Luke]

Why are they failing for tints though if they ain't a part of the MOT, bit daft if you ask me.

[DevilDamo]

Agree with Luke... how can they fail you on something that isn't tested?

I think you (and your mate) have been pwned :(
