On its own a 3p increase on a MOT slot price of £2.05 is pretty insignificant. However the costs involved in running a teating station are constantly increasing (the cost of connected equipment for example) and I think that the DVSA should be helping us to safeguard our income. If we were able to charge the recommended retail price of £58.45 MOT testing would be a very good income for our business, but due to the fact that there are numerous testing stations within a 1 mile radius of our garage, we cannot charge anywhere near that price. If the cost of an MOT test was mandated, it would be a significant help to our business. To the public, an MOT is a standard item which they believe will be exactly the same wherever they get one, so the main deciding factor for them is the price. I don’t see chemists discounting prescription charges (which is again, the same item from wherever you get them), it should be the same for MOT tests.
