Listed: The cheapest places in and around Colchester to get an MOT

Finding a reasonably priced MOT is a task most drivers go through every year, so those in Colchester may be curious to see where the cheapest MOT centre is near them.

In January the Department for Transport launched a public consultation on the future of MOTs, seeking views on proposals to change the date at which the first MOT for new light vehicles is required from three years to four years.

The Government said the average MOT costs £40, and the proposed move could save drivers across the country about £100million a year in fees.
