Most lighting failures are a single dead bulb. Testers see them every day, and every one of them could have been fixed in a car park. The pass rates for the whole country show the same pattern, and our guide to MOT advisories 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 Newbury 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 Newbury
March is the busiest month for MOTs in the RG area, with about 66% 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.
Nearby towns
If none of the Newbury stations suits, these neighbouring towns are a short drive away: Basingstoke MOT garages (60), MOT centres in Reading (85) and MOT in Andover (29).
Check the car first
Your last certificate's advisories are the likeliest failures this time. A free MOT history check shows them in seconds, together with the pass rate for your exact model and year. The reliability figures by model cover Nissan Qashqai, Land Rover Range Rover (all models) and Ford Focus and 687 others.
