mot question

dave gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

It depends what it fails on - there's a list of things which qualify for a partial re-test. If it's not something on that, then the tester can charge you full whack for a re-test. He can, of course, choose not to.

Very likely, yes. In practice (whisper it if there's somebody from VOSA around) the car'll head back with a pass cert and a "Get this fixed" word in the ear.

It depends on the individual garage to some extent - although IIRC there are some minor things that they can't charge a full fee for. Look for one which offers a free re-test regardless. (They usually have a time limit)

Before I had my own MOT station we used to take ours to another garage, as we took 2-3 every day we got a discount and free retest's if needed. When computerization came in a lot of places stopped the free retest as you had to spend more time doing it, it also ended the *pass and get it done* thingy as VOSA can now turn up within a minute of the pass being issued and retest the vehicle. We give a 1 free retest within 10 day's on anything, but we only log it in after we have checked the repairs.

Thanks all. Very helpful replies.
