Although all MOT test stations should be the same as you know they are not. if i did a quick mot I would have more people complain than leave happy. You are paying for a service and if it isnt being done properly you should ask for a refund. You would complain if the bike came back half repaired wouldnt you...
Dont get me wrong, by the time I have got the bike from outside into the inspection bay i can pretty much tell if its a pass or a fail, But you are paying to have things checked to comply with the LAW and to ensure your safety, not just to get a peice of paper.
On the value for money point, Now we are computerised for MOTs it takes about an extra 10mins to the test, a good test should take circa 40mins.
If you feel you are getting a bum deal at an MOT testing station there are avenues for complaint. Its all on a big poster that must be displayed in the customer viewing area.
