What an MOT costs
The maximum fee for a car is £54.85, with no VAT on top; stations may charge less. A fail gets a free retest if you leave the car for repair and return within 10 working days, or for a listed set of items before the end of the next working day — the rules in full. The common failures are priced on the repair price list, and the calculator adds up your own items.
