As my CAT is coming off I thought it a good idea to get it MOT'd before Monday so at least I've got a year before I have to worry about the fact I'm running a de-cat.
I found an interesting thread on another site about local council mot stations being cheaper than your average kwik-fit or local garage by about 20% (just booked mine in for ₤40).

A list of council MOT stations can be found here:
