I don't think so. It is now difficult to use the equipment as it is connected even more directly to VOSA, at the station I use, as it has recently been taken over. Plus they are busy as heck anyway. As soon as they get a reading VOSA have it too.
Normally I do my own checks and usually I get it right, or rightish. You can do all the visual tests yourself, even the tests for bearings and suspension if you Can BA to jack each corner up.
Rough brake tests can be carried out on an empty road. The only thing you really cannot do yourself is emissions, but keeping the engine in good fettle, changing filters etc helps.
I used to have a great relationship with the MOT garage to the point where if it failed they gave me a fail and pass certs at the same time, as they knew I'd fix it and do it properly.
That stopped when MOT stations got connected to Vosa by computer. Unless they simply let something go like last time with W's Pluriel they simply said "get new wiper blades". Then passed it.
Pre Mots still cost money, then you have to pay the test fee anyway. Might as well just get it tested, if it fails, get your finger out and get it fixed before the fortnight is up.
Funny thing happened today, while I was waiting, an Audi owner came in to pick up his car that had failed. He asked how much to service and repair the failure points, saying "I've got the two joint boots in the car." They said they wouldn't fit them as they hadn't supplied them and couldn't be sure they would be OK. Bloke got stroppy and ended up marching out saying he'd get the retest and service elsewhere. Which was a bit daft as they aren't expensive and would have changed the boots for nearly nothing. The owner and I grinned. He'd not get it serviced anywhere else as inexpensive. Neither of us could understand why he didn't just fit the boots himself and get them to do the rest.
Nowt as funny as folk!
Worra trumpit was he must have had his pink pants on stroppy git..

It's 'jet fighter fool' according to the press, with a high evap temp. Would make it avtur / avtag? Or paraffin to us Tratterers? Not as nasty as crood, hopefully plenty has burned oft..Yup I see its still afloat, thankfully as that would cause major pollution, ive seen the mess a few of tons of oil makes when some
dodo pumped old engine oil into the Clyde Estuary by mistake.The local shoreline was covered & the poor sea birds that died
but I managed to save some by taking then home & cleaning them. Mainly oyster catchers they are noisy little gits.

Snot right, kilts are worn to identify real MEN from different Scottish clans, skirts are worn by freelander owners.
