Last year I had my car service & MOT done by MB Oxford ( part of the Inchcape group) and they gave me a free insurance policy for any MOT failure costs this year. Im happy to say its just passed its MOT yesterday with no need for the Insurance,but nevertheless a useful peace of mind policy. NB Id taken the front Cats out due to the dreaded breakup rattle...it still passed MOT OK.
However as I had taken my car to MB Taunton, a different franchise, they didnt give me another years insurance, so Ive been online and found out that there are companies who do this insurance for about £50. This is something to take into account when having MB do your service or maybe its worthwhile to take out this insurance seperately.Some failures , for example leaking struts/balljoint failure on say a SL500 could be expensive to fix and covered under this policy. Dont forget to read the small print though
