PaulD76 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hey Guys Nationwide Autocentre do MOT Guarantee where you pay £49 on top of the MOT (£99 in total) and they apparently cover you for the costs of repairing certain things. Seems a good deal but im always very suspicious and cyncial!! http://www.nationwideautocentres.co.uk/Services_MotGuarantee.aspx Now before you worry, i would never take my beloved supra there! And i know this therefore perhaps shouldnt be in a supra forum, but i just wanted to know if anyone has any experience and i always get good advice here. Its for my wifes ford KA which i have been driving mondays to fridays. on the last MOT it had two advisory notes.. 1) brake hose perissed and wishbone bush splitting. Since this time ive been doing 400 miles per week on average!! Any advice would be appreciated! I am expecting it to fail and it seems the items mentioned would be covered. everything else seems ok to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Any rust? I'm in the process of welding up a ford KA which has pretty much most of the sill shot to bits. I'd check the fine wording because there MUST be exceptions and it will be the pricey stuff, remember they will word it suit themselves and not the customer.

PaulD76 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks JustGav A little rust around the petrol cap and door edges, but everything else is fine. Ive got a feeling its going to fail on something, purely as ive driven it a lot this year. The two advisory items 'should' be covered, according the salesman when i picked it up last year after the MOT.. mind this could be part of the ploy! considering its a 2001 plate with similar miles to my 96 supra its a great example of a buying quality products to last. Part of me says its only £50 and it might save me a bit of cash, but at the other time, id hate to throw away £50 at this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufop Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 sounds a bit dodgy to me..... as if you pay the extra £49 then they are going to do whatever work is needed to pass it? or are they just going to write the certificert and then say "it wasnt like that when it left here" hmmmmmm although if you want to sell a wreck with 12months mot then £99 sounds like a good deal lol I think most of us know a garage somewhere that does MOT's that we wouldnt touch with a bargepole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 It's got to work on law of averages, there's probably a lot of people that pay the extra that don't need anything doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
