MOT retard question

[suityou01]

Hi Guys,

Another MOT question for your expert opinion..

My car failed in MOT due a windscreen chip & I repaired it (in another place) & brought back to same center in next working day thinking no retest fee under this MOT rule shown in VOSA site also the same shown in MOT failure notice ( VT30)..

01-09-06 MOT launch new re-test proceduresThis VOSA link says...

If the vehicle is brought back to the same Testing Station by the end of the next working day for one or more of the following items only, a partial re-examination is again required and this re-examination is also free:
Bonnet, boot lid, brake pedal anti-slip, direction indicators, doors, dropsides, fuel filler cap, hazard warning, horn, lamps, loading door, mirrors, rear reflectors, registration plates, seatbelts (but not anchorages), seats, sharp edges or projections, steering wheel, tailboard, tailgate, vehicle identification number (VIN), windscreen and glass, windscreen wipers/washers, wheels* and tyres*.

This link clearly states Free retest if car is bought back to same test centre in next working day after test failure.

The MOT centre I have done charged me £2.50 lower than original test fee & when I pointed out VOSA guidelines they said "its up to the discretion of the test centre..!!"Please let me know if I should be allowed out on my own at all ever

I'd like to offer my advice on this but I do not have the experience in the subject(of course someone else without the experience will pop up and offer it anyway in true CUK general prose).

I have had cars that have failed the MOT but at that point I simply say 'Keep it. Book me a taxi, Ill buy another'

You'll be telling us next you bought your house 2nd hand.
