MOT testing stations need to stick to VOSA MOT re-test rules.
MOT re-testing procedures tend to be pretty perplexing and also very mundane. We want to set the scenario to help you as regards when it's possible to and will not get a FREE re-test.
First of all, the primary rule is that once your car has failed its MOT, the required time-frame for all the imperative fixing to be executed and any following re-test is only 10 working days following on from the first day of test. This holds true provided that your family car has been repaired and after that registered to have a re-test before the end of 10 working days. If all of the aforementioned has been accomplished, subsequently the computerised MOT software all MOT test garages depend on will definitely, at this stage, allow us to register your vehicle or light commercial van and perform the re-test.
The second procedure tends to be that within the MOT test it's frequently a fact that some components could be tested again immediately nonetheless conversely various items really need more focused checking.
As an illustration;
- To illustrate the vehicle falls short on 1 tyre; then a changed tyre is simple to spot and a "fast track" MOT test can be accomplished, this will take just a couple of minutes of the MOT testers energy and and so shouldn't attract a re-test charge.
- Or an alternate instance: If the vehicle fails get through the MOT test on headlamp aims, emissions, and brake system; here your vehicle has to be scheduled with your neighbourhood Harrogate VOSA MOT test garage for the partial re-test and driven directly into MOT test bay, then the emissions assessment should be done, a substantially less exhaustive overall examination accomplished in addition to a detailed braking mechanism check carried out. This work more often than not requires extra hours of the MOT testers time, and for these reasons this could generally attract a re-test charge.
For that reason while we, and nearly every MOT test centre, markets and offers FREE tests it's really, in most cases, based on when your car is provided for its MOT examination in Harrogate and accordingly precisely what your car failed the MOT on.
IMPORTANTLY - in the case the vehicle fails the MOT examination with us here within Harrogate VOSA MOT centre and it is subsequently mended by us, then it follows that we are able to generally accomplish ones retest FREE (i.e. completely free), this is certainly our thanks to you for selecting to turn to our Harrogate VOSA MOT garage workshops.
