Default Welcome News

Took Wedgie in for a pre-MOT inspection at my local garage this afternoon and was informed that had it been the 'real thing' it would be a pass with no advisories.

Now booked in for its MOT proper on March 23rd, which will be within the time limit to preserve the actual expiry date of April 22nd. Fingers crossed that all remains well between now and then.

So how much was the pre-inspection compared to actual MOT ?

I didn't watch from start to finish, but judging by the time it took and what I did see it certainly looked like he covered everything. Can't say for definite that other places would be as thorough, so probably best to ask them first.

For me personally it was £20 well spent to keep a clean MOT history.

That seems a reasonable figure. How long was he checking it for?

Don't recall exactly, but in the region of 20-25 mins.
