Class 7 MOT Cost in High Wycombe

Is the MOT Fee Refunded If My Car Fails?
No — the MOT fee covers the test itself, not the result. If your car fails, you will have paid for the test. However, Auto Clinics offers a free retest within 10 working days if repairs are carried out by us. If you take the car away and return it within 10 working days, a partial retest of the failed items only is available at a reduced fee.
Can I Reduce My MOT Cost?
The most effective way to reduce the total cost of your MOT — test plus any repairs — is to carry out a pre-check before you book. Checking and replacing bulbs yourself costs a few pounds. Fitting new wiper blades costs under £20. These are legal and quick to do at home. Tyres and brakes should always be checked by a professional — Auto Clinics offers free inspections before your MOT date.
