Mot Prices

Yep, its that time of year again, the tax renewal came through the door, which instinctively sent me looking for the mot. It was close cos it ran out today ! So its been one mad dash since wednesday.. new front tyres were needed, I was lucky enough to get a pair of yokohamas from ebay, then once they had arrived I needed them fitted. Today off for mot, at my local BT garage, sailed through again and only 37.50. Thats me legal for another year ! complete with the biggest mot certificate ever..ps does anyone know what the little peeloff in the bottom left hand corner is for ?

Re: Mot Prices

Well done you and well done your Marea!

Stick it to your windscreen or sunvisors. Its got the renewal date on it to remind you when its due next!

Tis the season for Mareas to pass MOTs! Mine went through last week without any work. Just dropped it off and was suprised to hear it passed!

You will have driven it for 6 months I suppose if you treat it right and look after it there will be no reason for failure. Ive passed 2 MOT'S in the squitch with no work needing doing, although im not holding much hope this year

Re: Mot Prices

Not sure if it's urban myth or not but I heard that cars not displaying the MOT sticker are liable to be stopped once, or until?, the new MOT system is fully operational.

Re: Mot Prices

It will make things easier for the police to see at a glance, won't it ? I was also told the same, that approx 1 year after the new mots have been issued this will be how they check 1st. Now lets have a similar sticky for the insurance.....

Re: Mot Prices

Y 2001 Fiat Marea Weekend JTD 110 ELX

I'm just passed. £30.

Autofix MOT centre, 293 Featherstall Road North, Oldham, OL1 2NH. 0161 628 8599.



I know it's a diesel but if it had failed, I'd have gone out and treated it to 1/2 gallon of unleaded and a packet of swanvestas......


Just need to sort it out so it has the accelation that it used to have........
