Last year we wrote a lot about MOT news. We wrote things to help protect you the motorists.

We brought up a lot of issues that is plaguing the MOT industry. First thing we mentioned was the price of MOT tests. There are a lot offers out there where garages are offering MOT tests for £5. This may well sound like a good deal but is it really?

We must always ensure safety first. Why do we say this? Those garages that are offering MOT tests for £5 are they safe. We read in the news that a garage was fined recently by the HSE for the amount of £10,000.

The garage in question were deemed to have caused an accident while the vehicle was having an MOT test. The vehicle collapsed on a child and crushed him causing life changing injuries. Read about it linked below:

This is what we are talking about. If the price seems to good to be true then it probably is. A fair price for an MOT is £35. This will get your MOT through an MOT test. It is a reasonable price and when a garage charges a reasonable price like £35 you know they will likely have all of the safety procedures in place so that accidents do not happen.
