Where's Dave gone, he's got the list

my cars got it first mot on the 3rd of september. I booked it in with ford incase going somewhere else made them go funny about the extra 3 years warranty i have on it. I forgot to ask how much it was tho lol. Is it about £50 or slightly more expensive coz its ford?

The current recommended fee by the DoT is £54.85, however individual garages can charge less than this (but not more).

got an e-mail saying i'm getting it for £39 as a special offer. If one of your tyres has a cut into the side wall with a chunk taken out of it is that a failiure on an mot?

I pay £30 for an MOT, as for a cut in the sidewall of your tyre, yes it could fail an MOT test, if the tyre hits something in the road like a pothole it will put pressure on the weakest part of the tyre and could blow out.

do you reckon its advisable to get a new tyre or to see what they say when it goes in for it? is there anyway it can be repaired?

you cant repair it if its near or on the sidewall, go and ask a tyre specialist if your unsure, do it before the test cos if it fails you will only have to take it back for a re test unless they do it there and then.

i had a thorn in one of my tyres and it was in the sidewall and the tyre place said they couldnt repair it. Think i might have to get a new tyre then. thanks for the advice. would you be able to get the p zero's from any tyre place?

Why would you want to get hold of p zeros

would it make much of a difference to the car if i had 3 p zero's on it coz the other 3 are fine and then had a different make for the one that needs replacing?

if the others have loadsa tread left then stick a pzero back on
But if they are getting low on the opposite side then swap to something else

My mums car has about 3 different makes of tyre, but she only drives at 25mph everywhere not too sure about doing it on an I wouldn't but its a pain if you dont need to buy two

the others have still got loads of tread on. It says serious cuts fail on the mot but would a gouge about 10mm by 10mm and a couple of mill deep count as a serious cut?
