They_all_do_that_sir Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 My Mrs will be in Liverpool with the micra when its due MOT. If a local shiter knows somewhere in and around the city centre area (shes out towards Wavertree) that would be awesome. Basically somewhere with a sensible tester who wont charge the earth to sort anything needing done....

MikeR Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Catteralls in Formby do a lot of Micra stuff , they have a barn full of spares , so if anything major needs doing !! , but its a lot further to go check the rear of the sills first , that area kills them with rust They_all_do_that_sir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think you can buy an MOT in Liverpool, without going near a test station. Joking apart, our BINI and MX5 both passed with no advisories at Cattys, and a week later I was replacing the suspension top mount bearings on the BINI, and welding the back of the sills on the Mx5.

alcyonecorporation Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 CV joints going as well on it , gearbox making noises .cam chain starting to rattle , that car has well done its bit !!! mot is getting bit of a joke now that plastic panels that cant be removed can hide a shit load of sins , and rust cant be prodded only tapped with the special mot hammer Tell that to the sadistic fuck of an MoT tester who stabbed a rust bubble on the door of my Volvo with a screwdriver repeatedly and broke all the lugs on Station's Astra GSi skirts by tearing them off to check the sills. Because looking at them on a ramp simply wasn't enough. And I still had to pay the bill at the end rather than him buy me a new door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If you aren't sure I'd always suggest the council MOT places, you can be sure they'll not be looking for work. alcyonecorporation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 ^^ If I were out-of-my-area, that's what I'd tend to do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJay Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I use Doyles in Garston (about 4-5 miles from Wavertree).They only do the mot, not any repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banger Kenny Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Might be a bit out of your way, but Village Autos in Whiston Village are decent - charge £40 - unlike some places in the area that charge £25-30* a test. (*plus £300 quids worth of work to get a pass certificate) HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
