MoT free retests - is there for bikes?

[cb1rocket]

My mind has gone blank, but I believe there is no free retest for superficial items? ie lights, horn etc

Hi

There is for specific fails.

All the best

Looks like the list for bikes is:

Horn, Sharp Edges, Lights, Indicators, Mirrors, Rear Reflectors, VIN, Registration Plates, Fuel Filler Cap, Wheels and Tyres.

Mine failed on a warning light. The official line was I had 1 day for a free retest if I removed the bike from the garage, or 10 working days if it stayed at the garage for repair.

I took it home, ordered a new switch, fitted new switch, traced fault, fixed fault, and retested 6 days after fail at no charge - the charge is down to the garage, but the 10 days is controlled by the system.

In my experience, most MOT places (including bike) give a free week-ish retest on all items for free.

Certainly round here anyway.

Not sure but if you go to small garages run by Portugese etc... then they will. I got my bike passed for a MOT even though the plate is slightly smaller. They took it to somewhere that did MOT's.

I got a free retest as said above, 1 day if you take it home or 10 days if you leave it with them

Mine failed on a rusted through swing arm, he offered to weld it up for £40, his face was shocked when i turned up the next day with a new one fitted i had aquired from a friend

I got a free retest on my front brake switch (activating light too late) and headlight (Dipped beam was not working)

Tested on monday, failed for said reasons.

Took home... went back next day to rebook test for Thursday

Got bulb on Tuesday when I was there, took home again, fixed brake switch (shaved it down a bit) and replaced bulb

Took in Thursday, Passed.. No cost, (Apart from the bulb £3)
