MOT test centres have got to abide by VOSA MOT re-test policies.
MOT re-test rules tend to be considerably convoluted and also very monotonous. Permit us to set the scenario for you in relation to when it's possible to and can't get a FREE re-test.
To start with, the primary rule is usually that after the family car has failed its MOT, the applicable time-frame for the completion of any repair and any subsequent re-test is only 10 working days after your primary day of test. This is true so long as the vehicle or light van has been fixed and subsequently scheduled in for a re-test prior to the end of 10 trading days. If all of the above has been undertaken, then the computerised MOT program all MOTing garages work with will certainly, at that time, enable us to register your family car and perform re-test.
The subsequent procedure tends to be that within the MOT re-examination it is commonly the case that various elements may be tested again rapidly whilst conversely a quantity of points command far more focused testing.
To illustrate;
- If for instance your vehicle falls short on 1 tyre; then a changed tyre is easy to distinguish and a "fast track" MOT retest is feasible, consuming just a matter of minutes of the MOT testers valuable time and as a result should not attract a re-test bill.
- Or an extra scenario: What if the family car fails its MOT examination on headlamp aims, emissions, and brakes; in cases like this the car really needs to be signed up with your nearest South Wigston VOSA MOT testing station to secure a part re-test and driven directly into MOT test bay, once there an emissions test would have to be carried out, a substantially less rigorous all around check out carried out and also an extensive braking mechanism check undertaken. This work routinely requires extra amounts of the MOT testers time, and and so it is going to normally attract a re-test bill.
For this reason while we, and just about every MOT test garage, promotes and provides FREE tests it's, on the whole, influenced by when your family car is supplied for its MOT exam in South Wigston and therefore what specifically your vehicle failed the MOT upon.
IMPORTANTLY - in the instance that your family car failed its MOT check with us here within South Wigston VOSA MOT centre and it is afterwards fixed by us, then in this case we are able to always execute a retest FREE (i.e. free of charge), this is our thanks to you for preferring to take advantage of our South Wigston VOSA MOT garage workshops.
