I cant really make use of it as I dont have one close by, but National Tyres have a promotion on via the AA book and pay online use code AAMOT26

Guaranteed to fail on tyres, exhaust, shocks or whatever else they are trying to shift at the moment.
Or am I just being cynical

I did everything possible for my last MOT, so they failed it on the less obvious stuff I couldn't see. They're all robbing gets.
Cost me £130 for MOT, track rod end and wheel alignment which I don't think they even did. I'll not be going back.

As a rule i never get an MOT at any place that can make a profit out of failing your car. Its like walking into P.C word and asking "do you think i need a new computer" lol

The place I use only does MOT's, not repairs and they are not trying to flog tyres.
He wont pass an unsafe car but he's fair and not after emptying your wallet

If you're in the south midlands, for MoT's try Mark at ETB, in Briar Close, Evesham. He's very fair, nothing is too much trouble for him, he doesn't try to flog you anything you don't need, and the MoT's there also cost around the £25 mark. He has MoT'd both my 10 year old Rover 75 and my 53 year old Rover P4 100. No connection with them other than being a very happy customer.

I've noticed around my way MOT's being advertised £25.00, as for everyone business is tight.

£54 I have just been quoted at Wetherby! Looks like a day off to get it sorted.

There are a number of garages in and around Rotherham who do MoT's for £25 and even one at £20 at the moment.
