I used to think that paying for a pre MOT was a waste of money as I was quite capable of checking a lot of the points myself. However, nowadays if a car fails on a major it can't leave the MOT station until it's fixed. My next door neighbour was in a situation only a week or so back, where his car failed on an anti rollbar bush, had no money, travelcard or phone on him, and was faced with the dilemma of how to get home, as the mot guy said the car had to stay in the workshop until he'd fixed it the following day, even though the current mot had not expired. He eventually relented, no doubt not wanting an 80 year old customer to have a heart attack on the long walk home. I use a guy who is a home mechanic, so he comes to the house, pre mots the car, then takes it for its mot, and delivers it back home. I always get this done a week or so before the mot is due in case he comes across a problem during the pre mot, although this precaution has never been needed.
