English (London) MOT?

Stand corrected - I thought the garage was being a bit over zealous at the time though if that’s what the Gov website says then can’t argue with that

Use halfrauds. £29. Had 7 done there over the past 3 years and never had an issue. The one in Slough also don't know how to spot a decat pipe either. Good times.

Some places you need to book an MOT, not all are turn up and pay, I would not expect a 3 year old X3 to have any issues, TBH Halfords is as good as anywhere

The bit about the decat pipe made me laugh :rofl:

not sure if i'm too late to help here Phil, but Wandsworth council MOT testing centre is pretty good, i used it a few times with my Z4MC.

Being council owned they have no incentive to find faults :)

Hi Jimmy, thanks for the reply. Actually, this is exactly where I ended up taking the car. It was exactly as you said. It was all very straightforward and the car passed without issue :thumbsup:
