Cups first MOT due....

[crazycup]

Gotta get it done by 23rd of December .... is there any common problems i need to look out for before i put it in?? Really dont want to have to fork out for expensive repairs at this time of year!!:dead:

Also would you recommend taking it to Reg Vardys?? £50 all in

They fail on the brakes sometimes, iirc it's because they don't have abs.

any way to get round this???

yeah print off the VOSA document and giv it to them first!

Mine flew through it's first MOT a few weeks back. no probs,
You'll be fine. I had mine done at a local renault dealer.
Didn't pay £50 though!! (saying that i think MOT prices went up a bit just after having mine done.)

mines due on about the 12 of dec but i got it done 2 weeks ago so it was still in warranty, cost me 25 at renauult

 

[kully]

just done mine at the main dealers ....40 notes and no problems .....wooohooo

Mine went straight through once I'd had the cat put back on.

£50 is a bargain compared to what I had to pay

mine was due on the the 9th of dec, was in last week for a new coilpack so got them to mot it at the same time, flew straight throug not even an advisory ;-)

plus the added bonus of been able to haggle, as long as i take my car to that dealership i never have to pay for the actual MOT so didnt have to pay a penny and its sorted for another year

50 quid oh dear me. Mine was 25 last time 18 months ago.

Had mine done at a Renault dealership and it failed for worn rear tyres. Which was a bit of a c**t as they did'nt have any Conti's (or anything else that fitted) to replace them with!! Ended up supplying my own PE2's. And not having a car for 3 days

Moral of story - get your tyres done before you take it to Renault

Yea the MOT price that they can charge is up to £50.35

Cups don't fail because of no ABS, it can be down to the rear bias, I was worried about mine when it had it's first MOT, but it went through fine.

So don't panic yet!

If the tester is up to date, he/she should know about the brake bias actuator arm, and piss poor rear braking performance. But if you take the VOSA document with you it'll be fine. Mine sailed through it a couple of weeks ago and was only 28 quid.

had mine done about 2 month's ago went straight through no prb's maybe take it to a reno garage . ?? but then again don't . lol
