I took my car to local MOT place last year, no problems at all. Will be taking it back next week for second MOT. Last year passed without any problems at all although did need to be warmed up a lot for the emissions test - passed with 0.13 in the end.

I had my RX MOTed at RMB Teesside the 'new' Lexus dealer. No problems at all and very efficient service. It was MOTed on site as I had a couple of coffees whilst I waited.

As Colin Barber has said it was a standard charge (£40.75) which I understand is not discountable.

I'm not sure about Lexus Leeds but Toyota Leeds next door (both now owned by Benfields) send your car away to an MOT testing station as they can't do this on site... or at least they did when I took my MR2 in for an MOT last year.
