Bars show how often each defect appears on failed tests in this area. The figure in italics is the difference from the national rate for that defect.
A blown bulb fails the test as surely as a worn brake, and a bulb is a few pounds. Check brake lights with the car reversed up to a wall. The UK-wide failure figures show the same pattern, and our list of advisories that become failures puts a number on how often a noted item fails the following year.

Freeretest within 10 working days
DVSA sets a maximum test fee, and no station in Aldershot can charge more than £54.85 for a car. Most charge less: chains and larger independents often advertise £30 to £40, and a few quote the full amount. The price is for the test only; any repair is separate and you are free to have it done elsewhere.
When to book in Aldershot
March is the busiest month for MOTs in the GU area, with about 64% more tests than April. If your test falls in a busy month, book two to three weeks ahead; in a quiet one, most stations can fit you in within days.
Retests
A failed car left at the garage for repair gets a free retest. Take it away and bring it back within ten working days and the retest is free for the common small items (bulbs, wipers, tyres, mirrors, seatbelts) and half price at most for the rest. Miss the ten days and you pay for a full test.
Driving to the test without an MOT
You can drive to a pre-booked test with no MOT, and to a garage for repairs found at the test. That is the only situation where driving without one is legal, and the car must still be roadworthy and insured.
Other towns close by
The next nearest places with MOT stations are Farnham MOT garages (14), MOT centres in Camberley (16) and MOT centres in Guildford (41).
Before you book
Run a MOT history check before the test: it lists the advisories from last year and tells you how often that kind of advisory becomes a failure. The reliability figures by model cover Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and Ford Transit and 687 others.
