Mate took his car into the garage yesterday and they are doing an insurance scheme, whereas you pay £120.00 and it covers all MOT repairs for 3years to the value of £1900.00.

The car must be younger than 10 years old and have less than 100000 miles on the clock.

Must be a monthly payment as well Scruff or it just does not add up. An Mot is £55 and materials for an oil change are at least £20

It only covers any repairs to get it through the MOT, you still have to pay for the MOT, and a service if it wants one.

I would imagine the most common would be things like suspension and steering links.

Be ideal for the work van, 53 plate, and it needs welding for MOT. :lol:

Quality motor :roll:

Id think that was labour only Scruff, parts extra... at extortionate rates?

I'd sign up in an instant.

My van is almost 10 years old, and has done ~90,000

It sailed through it's last MOT a couple of weeks ago with nothing but a replaced bulb, but I'd be suprised if it makes another 2.
