Of every hundred cars presented for an MOT in the SO area, about 29 fail. Nationally the figure is 28, so Eastleigh and its surroundings are a little harder on cars than most of Britain. The most common defect on failed tests here is a sidelight not working. Based on 1,204,220 tests recorded by DVSA.

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.
Lights are the cheapest category to fail on and the easiest to prevent: walk round the car with every lamp on before you go. 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 Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh
March is the busiest month for MOTs in the SO area, with about 61% 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.

Check the car first
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 Ford Transit, Ford Focus and Toyota Yaris and 687 others.
