Not the Omega, the 206.
It's a bitter sweet thing - bitter that it didn't pass, but often sweet as the failure list could be extensive!
On this occasion I'm a bit disappointed but no point in worrying about it. So having paid £30.50 for the initial, full test, I've now to pay a further £18.50 for the retest. And the failure items?
Just the one ........ offside headlight bulb defective

£30 for a test, thats cheap, around £50-£55 here 

[jonny2112]

I think that's maybe why we have no advisories but an automatic retest.
It all adds up!

Where I go that would have been replaced during the test for the cost of the bulb but everywhere is different I suppose

I know. Tested on Monday night, and all ok, but didn't get round to doing it this morning again as I was late home from work. Still, could have been worse.

Don't they only charge a retest if you take the car away? Surly you could have changed the bulb there and bingo it's done

MOT test in Norn Irn is completely different to GB.

My pesky number plate lamp played this trick on me this year.. 

If the tester hadn't noticed that the exhaust was only hanging by a thread I'd have been annoyed with it.

[symes]

when I took Rover for mot---number plate bulb was out---the mot guy fitted a new bulb how good was that

MOT test in Norn Irn is completely different to GB.

In what way is it diffrent?

[albitz]

It isn't carried out at garages.Its done at govt. test centres by people employed to do nothing but MOT testing. It tends to be a lot more rigorous than the test on the mainland.
People in Norn Irn often nip across to Scotland to get a ticket from a garage around Stranraer,as its less hassle,and you don't have to wait so long to book an appointment in peak times.
