Why MOT prices vary in Newton Abbot
The test itself is standardised, so the checks are identical at every garage in Newton Abbot. What changes is the price each garage sets, up to the £54.85 cap. A cheaper MOT is not a lesser test, it usually just means a garage is using a keen price to win your servicing and repair work too. Some also discount the MOT when you book it alongside a service.
If your car fails, you may get a free or reduced retest if you leave it at the same garage and it is retested within 10 working days. For the full picture see our guide on how much an MOT should cost, and the faults that catch drivers out in why cars fail their MOT.
