MOT re-test

VOSA stipulates that there are only two sets of re-test circumstances where the price for a re-test is zero — that is 'Free'.

1. If the vehicle has failed the MOT and is left at the Testing Station for repair and re-test and does not leave the Testing Station, then the re-test is free.

2. If the vehicle fails because of one or more items on the list of specific items below, provided the vehicle is returned for re-test by the end of the next working day, then no fee applies.

No fee will be charged for a re-test if your vehicle is repaired and returned for a re-test before the end of the next working day if the failure is for one of the following:

Bonnet
Boot lid
Brake pedal anti-slip device
Direction indicators
Doors
Drop-sides
Fuel Filler Cap
Hazard Warning
Horn
Lamps
Loading door
Mirrors
Rear reflectors
Registration plates
Seat belts (but not anchorages)

If your vehicle fails an emissions test because of defective exhaust components, it may not be necessary to replace the complete exhaust system. Even a small leak in the exhaust can affect test readings so have the exhaust components checked at Griffin Mill before submitting your vehicle for its annual MOT test.
