What's included

The annual roadworthiness test required for most cars over three years old.

What affects the price

  • Whether the garage discounts the test hoping to win any repair work that follows
  • Whether a free retest is included if the car fails
  • Whether the price is bundled with a service

When a cheap price is a warning

A very cheap or free MOT is usually a loss-leader. That is not dishonest in itself, but check what a failure would cost to put right before you book, and whether you are free to take the repair elsewhere.

What to ask before you book

  • Is a retest included if it fails, and within how many days?
  • If it fails, will you quote me for the repairs before doing any work?
  • Am I free to take the repair work elsewhere?

How we got this range

The top of this range is not a market rate but a legal ceiling: £54.85 is the statutory maximum an MOT station may charge for a class 4 car, set by the DVSA. No garage may charge more. The typical figure is the average standalone MOT price across Liverpool garages listed on BookMyGarage, and the bottom is the cheapest standalone price we could verify — Budjet Tyres & MOT publishes a flat £40 at both its Liverpool sites. Booked alongside a service the test goes lower still: Mount Garage Liverpool advertises £35 with a service, and BookMyGarage records Liverpool deals from £17.95. Those bundles are a real saving, not a trick, but the discount is priced on the expectation of winning the service work.
