Cheap MOTs PDF Print
Written by Gavin Chapman

This is one that came to me in an email from MoneySavingExpert. If your car is due for an MOT, and you want to save money, go to a council run MOT centre!

For cars with faults the MOT test fee is usually dwarfed by repair costs. While a cheap "MOTs just £20" promotion sounds good, it's ruined for those shelling out £1,500 to get problems fixed. Worse still, a few dodgy garages fail components that'd pass elsewhere to generate business.

The key is using hidden local council MOT centres, which don't do repairs, so there's no vested interest to fail you. This is a step by step cheap MOT guide including a full council tst center listing.

If you don't, you should at least once per week, and if it uses more than 1 litre every 1000km (600 miles), you may have a problem, infact, you have definately got a problem! Read on for more information on what to check and try if your smart car is using excessive oil. (Picture courtesy of Flikr some rights reserved )
