Took my partners fiesta into my local ford garage today for its MOT as they are currently doing an offer of £15.95 for all MOTs.
Anyway it failed, suprise suprise on stupid things which im sure should have been advisory items.
1)Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (in other words cable needs adjusting on handbrake, however it still works fine so why fail for this?)
2) Nearside front caliperhas restricted free movement (again nit picking at what should only be an advisory, a strip and clean of the caliper and piston should clear this up)
Personally i think they have just Found something to fail it on.
And when i came to arranging a re-test their telling me because they are doing the MOTs at £15.95 (cost price) i have to pay the full fee again whether its a partial test or not?
Yet nowhere does it say this and it clearly says i am entitled to one free or partial charged re-test.
what does everyone else thing, i am being screwed here?
