10 working days MOT

[untakenname]

Have a query about the timeframe as my car failed it's MOT on Friday April 1st, I've done the repairs and have it booked in for the partial retest tomorrow but on the phone the guy said it may be out of time.
I assume that the ten working days mean Monday to Friday but if the garage is open on Saturday as well then does that count?


Cheers.

It worries me they dont know this, or worse are trying to rinse you for a full test fee rather than a re-test.

If they insist I would report to DVSA...

It doesn't matter what hours the garage does, it's ten working days and they don't include weekends or Bank Holidays.
The tester doesn't NEED to know either, although they should, because when they log on to the vehicle, the system will say if the re test is within the allowed time.

I didn't spot the test date when I read the OP. You can have a partial re test up and including April 19th.

Call up and see if there'a availability for a MOT on another vehicle within the 10 days. If there is, then there is your answer.
