How Much...?
 

Do you pay for your bikes MOT?

:)

Re: How Much...?
 

About £35 last time on my DRZ, end of april.

Sorry, i think it was £30, not £35.

Re: How Much...?
 

£26 last time a month ago

Re: How Much...?
 

£26 of the best money that selective deafness can buy .

Re: How Much...?
 

£29-65 is the proper price, which is what we charge at work for running the bikes in a van to the test centre 4 miles away.

Btw - I get trade discount so don't pay that.

Re: How Much...?
 

how do you decide who pays £29 and who pays £65?

Re: How Much...?
 

It`s a Tarriff set by the Government isn`t it ?

Re: How Much...?

Silly english(ish) man who can't use punctuation!

£29.65

Re: How Much...?
 

Lmfao

Re: How Much...?
 

There is an upper limit of £29.65, but test centres can charge what they like up to that. An MOT certificate logged on the system only costs them something like £1.20, but you have to factor in their time doing the test as well.

Re: How Much...?
 

I thought it was £29:65 ?

Re: How Much...?
 

Englishish? I'm bloody Maltese.

The point is meant to be at half text height, so a dash is deemed acceptable.

Re: How Much...?
 

I usually take a packet of Choccy Hobnobs along as well , it`s amazing how Choccy Hobnobs can make an MOT tester be slightly deafer than he usually is on Exhaust checks

Re: How Much...?
 

maybe in Malta but your in britain and we is thick

Re: How Much...?
 

/derail please

:tongue:

Re: How Much...?
 

So it would seem.

Re: How Much...?
 

knew that would get you ... .... .... .... ... ... ... .. . .

i have an excuse though. i is thick

Re: How Much...?
 

I thought a point at half hight meant a continuation of a pattern.

A decimal (we use a decimalised currency) always appears at the bottom...

Them daft Euro lot use different standards.

ps I pay nothing for my MoT because the AA kindly cover mine :)

Re: How Much...?
 

It would appear we are both correct to some extent. I just found this on tinternet

"In the nations of the British Empire, although the period could be used in typewritten material, the point (middle dot: ·), which can also be called an interpunct (often referred to as the decimal point) was preferred for the decimal separator in printing technologies that could accommodate it.[3] This had the advantage of reducing confusion in the countries that used the period to separate groups of digits and it was generally clearer in handwriting (particularly when writing on a dotted baseline as on many forms)."

As my family were brought up in the wonderful British Empire, it's no small wonder I was taught to use an interpunct, they also taught me to use it at junior school when we went decimal in the early 70s.

Re: How Much...?

Re: How Much...?

Re: How Much...?
 

I presume that re-tests are free within a set time limit?

After sailing through it's last two MOT's the yellow peril has failed this one on the rear brake disk.

#-o

I wont even begin to tell you how much the garage are $hafting me for to get it fixed in time for the AR... :smt022

Re: How Much...?
 

and what are they saying is wrong with said disk?

Re: How Much...?
 

they didnt say - just said it failed due to it... :(

Re: How Much...?
 

failing because of disk is warped/worn or back brake effectiveness and they think its the disk.

what does your mot fail sheet say.

Re: How Much...?
 

I've not seen it, they just phoned me.

I wasn't in a position to dispute it. Just told them to fix it.

Re: How Much...?
 

Normally, a pint.

One once cost me a phone call with the reg number and milage. pick up the certificate in the pub.

Now there is one orger I know whose brother is an mot tester and gave himself an advisory.

Re: How Much...?
 

whaaaaaaaaaat are you fekin mad.

Re: How Much...?
 

probably, but i fly to germany on friday and dont have time to get it fixed by other means before the AR.

I did tell them to go and raffle for the £180+vat genuine suzuki part...

Re: How Much...?
 

i'd be asking for the old disk back for inspection.

Re: How Much...?
 

I dont know that there's much point, if it failed it failed.

Re: How Much...?
 

i've had all sorts from mot places in the past. the best one was them telling me my front pads needed changed when i had just changed them the week before. they are mostly all chancing baskets.

Re: How Much...?
 

well - i'm not expert enough to dispute it.
