Audi dealer MOT Offer

[Adrian E]

We've got a chain of garages down here in the South East called justmots.eu that ONLY do MOTs and no servicing/repairs at all. They'll adjust your headlight aim FOC but won't touch much else.

They charge £27 if you book 90 days ahead, which I usually manage to do - otherwise it's £38. Because they take bookings (incl on Saturdays) you can take it in and it's done while you wait with no messing about.

I used to spend half a Saturday queuing up at a local place that didn't take bookings and charged way more

I took advantage of the 'FREE' MoT at the local Aberdeen dealership as it was it's first Annual Inspection.

I got an advisory for lower link bushes - "may need renewing at next Inspection."

I disputed that with them as any movement should be a fail. Seems the 'FREE' bit stops them doing work in this case. I'm sure if I'd been paying for the MoT that job would have become mandatory!

bit of a C5 trait to wear the tyres on the shoulders before the middle

You mean inside shoulder? Its not just C5 but pretty much all Audi models( and Passat) that share similar suspension setup experience this problem as suspension ages or if is lowered. If You mean both shoulders then it is because of too little tyre pressure or too wide tyres for the rim.

I am sure it is just inside on Amars car because:
1. If it were both shoulders he would have shown both in picture
2. If it was that bad on outside as well he surely would have noticed that earlier.

Yep, just inside shoulder.

Mine wears the inside on the rear and the outside on the front, so having rotated them front to back I've got rear tyres with worn inner and outer shoulders and fronts that already have inner wear that are now wearing on the outside lol

I checked them this evening and they're nowhere near being through the carcase of the tyre
