Took my MR2 turbo for it's MOT today at a national chain and they refused to test it as it would apparently fail on noise. It's a loud car, but not ridiculously so - it passed the noise test at Silverstone for instance.

I was wondering if anybody knows of an MOT tester ideally in North Kent (Dartford / Bexley area) who may be slightly hard of hearing wink and is willing to pass it as it is? With the amount of loud Imprezas / Supras etc driving around, there must be a few friendly testers about?

If anyone knows of someone who can help me, send me a PM.

Thanks

The exhaust was fitted long before I bought the car, but the previous MOTs were done in Lincoln, which was a bit far for me to go.

Thankfully I managed to find a tester very local to me who didn't think it was too noisy, and it passed with no advisories.
