As the title suggests there is a Gala and it's being held in Brighouse West Yorkshire, I'm sure some of you already know this but the thing is there is a custom bike show of sorts and the company who is organising this is offering an MOT for life for £29.95 which if you ask me is a bloody good deal. For those who don't know its today and it costs a quid to get in.

Surely a £30 MOT for life voucher doesn't mean you get free MOT tests done for life!? Whats it actually about?

they MOT your bike for life, even if you sell it, it stays with the bike. Pretty good selling point as well.

Like many of the so called cheap MOT places, that never seem to pass anything..... Twisted Evil

Because they will be hoping to pick up the work that needs doing.....

No one gives you something for nothing.

Quote:
the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) will implement the following re-test procedures with effect from 11th September 2006.

Where a vehicle fails its MOT Test and stays at the Test Station in order to undergo repairs, only a partial re-examination will be required, provided the re-examination is carried out before the end of the tenth working day after the day of the initial test. This re-examination will be free.
If the vehicle is brought back to the same Testing Station by the end of the next working day for one or more of the following items only, a partial re-examination is again required and this re-examination is also free:
Bonnet, boot lid, brake pedal anti-slip, direction indicators, doors, dropsides, fuel filler cap, hazard warning, horn, lamps, loading door, mirrors, rear reflectors, registration plates, seatbelts (but not anchorages), seats, sharp edges or projections, steering wheel, tailboard, tailgate, vehicle identification number (VIN), windscreen and glass, windscreen wipers/washers, wheels* and tyres*.

(* Not applicable to motor bicycles and side cars.)

If the vehicle does not qualify for a re-test as listed in 1) or 2) above, and is brought back to the same Testing Station by the end of the tenth working day following the day of the initial test for retest, only a partial re-examination is required for which a maximum of half the full fee may be charged.

Previously, in this instance, a full re-examination of the vehicle was required for which a full fee was chargeable.
Only one partial re-examination is permissible per full examination.

If a vehicle does not qualify for a partial re-examination as listed above, a full re-examination is required and a full fee may be charged.


Bet they won't do re-test for free Embarassed

This could cost the Co one hell of a lot of money. If a bike was to be used for 20 years.....

If you want a unbiased MOT take it to your local council MOT center, as they do not do any repairs, so have no vested interest or make any profit out of failures Thumbs Up

I bought an Audi Coupe from a dealer who gave me the same deal. Free MOT's for as long as I owned the vehicle but it depended on them doing the regular services and any MOT work. Needless to say, it was much cheaper to just pay for the MOT's.
