I asked why hasn’t the test fee increased when my overheads have drastically increased. The test fee when confronting a dvsa official is based on the average labour rate, dvsa have certainly cut there overheads, NO forms supplied (meaning no postal delivery costings) no equipment supplied/support, phone lines, NO training services, And No mot slots fee reductions – instead reverse paying for equipment/stationary yearly training and less dvsa support. The cost of keep having to learn what’s new test items only to find many removed and then put back on again. The cost of software upgrades like brexit it’s not good.
The fees need to increase to at least £60 and NO cut price mots it then shall be up to the presenters to make a choice. One final point 7.5 tons vehicles upwards have one test fee yes no discount why because they are dvsa testers.
