Drivers in the UK with vehicles manufactured between 2018 and 2020 are facing significant financial burdens, with repair costs after failing MOT tests averaging £425. This figure, reported by Book My Garage, highlights the increasing expenses associated with maintaining older vehicles. For cars aged 3-5 years, the average repair bill stands at £332. Karen Rotberg, co-founder of Book My Garage, noted that many motorists are unaware of their cars' specific repair needs, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the repair process. The maximum fee for an MOT test for standard vehicles is £54.85, while motorcycles are capped at £29.65. The Labour Party's government website indicates that there are 21 categories of vehicles requiring an annual MOT, with costs varying based on vehicle type. The RAC warns that if a vehicle fails the MOT due to a Dangerous defect, it cannot be driven until fixed, while a Major defect allows for limited driving to a repair facility if the MOT is still valid.
