MOT Training

I contacted a training provider for the new mot training and assessments online, the online system would not process my application because the software advised I had not completed the last years training!

I contacted the training provider and they identified that it was a software issue they had, but had now resolved it. I went online to book it but no discounts available, so thought I would send them an email and ask about it, the reply came, not our fault, DVSA have set the prices and we can't change them!!

I thought, something seems wrong here, DVSA price fixing, so I contacted DVSA asking about this price fixing and asking if this is correct, then why has the test fee not also been fixed at the Statutory maximum!

The reply came back, we DVSA have no involvement in setting the price structures of the mot training, so I sent another email to the training provider, maybe they will ignore it, or reply to it tomorrow, if they don't I'll bring it up at the next meeting.
