I have the misfortune of having failed my test twice, lol.

I did my DAS on a "free retest" deal - but that only means the use of an instructor (I think). Basically there are 3 components that make up what it costs to do a retest:

- the hire of the bike (inc insurance)
- the hire of the instructor (you need to have one to get to the test centre on the bike, and usually you'll do some training as well because you've got them for the day)
- the test fee itself

The first time I did my retest I think it was somewhere between £110 - £130. The second time it was about £170 or thereabouts, reflecting the bit I didn't pay last time. Like I said I can't remember for definite the bit I got free on the first retest, but those are the sort of prices I paid. £200 does sound at the upper end of expensive, I think the prices I paid were quite high as well.
