MOT should take 30mins including brake testing etc. An Mot max price is set by Vosa at £27.15. If its only taking ten mins then they arent doing it properly.

Log on time is 40 mins so most garages are actually making nothing from doing the straight Mot.

Vosa are actually thinking of raising the cost yet again within the next year.
