Chatted about this to my friendly tester yesterday (me knows me well -I have a weekly fixed booking).
If you take it in for a 'Safety Check' the time spent will be more expensive- as its VAT able. Add at least 20%
If you take it in for a formal MOT -pro rata its cheaper (nil VAT) but if it fails.... A whole new can of worms.

Lets face it the MOT test is fair and straight forward.Why would anyone want to drive something that is iffy! And of course if your car fails a MOT then its clear that you do not have the time/experience or equipment to maintain a car IMO In addition on a ramp a MOT test is going to spot rust at a early age, rather than one day you slam the door and the sill falls off.

H'okay. I've just received the docs (& tax disc) for an import that has not yet seen an MOT tester. Interesting new slip -V112 formally stamped by DVLA confirming to the Post office that -'for taxation purposes' I don't now need an MOT.
Daft- plain daft.
