A government dept imposing an inflation busting increase.............surely not!!

Thanks m8

Jeez!!! That's one hell of a hike. Then again I did always think it was cheap considering it ties up a VOSA tester for a good 5 hours or so....
When you consider that if costs £40 (or is it £45 now) for an 45 minute MOT it works out at the going rate.

Still, any increase above inflation still sucks!!!

Big jump but I reckon the old SVA test was (is still . .) incredible value for money. And retests are only 30 notes aren't they?
Where else would you get a large industrial complex packed with fancy gear & experts to work on your behalf for 3 or 4 hours for that price?

How much is the IVA???

prices on page 31 (click)

540 pound.

Still cheaper in UK, then here.

waaaaaat holy niplarches! thats a bit bloody extortionate! thats coming in next year isnt it?

Only the sun comes for free...

I don't know how long a bIVA take but i think they don't want to make profit?

unfortunately, the amount i earn at the moment would mean that i would have to work for 72 hours to get enough money for that, and the fact is the guys prob only going to be looking at it for 8 hrs

and then failing it

but the guy who is looking at your car has 9 folks behind his back which must eat incl tax.

sorry, but I would say yes if they offer me that price in NL.
