We also allow and hour per MOT. If the new man says he can do them in 45 min, then book in three old Diesel vehicles in after the other for testing, throw in a couple of retest's and watch him sweat.

we too book them in hourly slots even though most test take nowhere near an hour to complete...just allows time for late comers,problems with equipment,paperwork/talking to vehicle presenters after the test..oh...and a quick cuppa.lol

My average time is also 48 minutes. I was chatting to someone the other day while one of the NT's was testing his BMW M5. he asked "how long will it take?" I said "anything up to an hour on something like that, but if it was your wife's 206 it would take less time". I then had to explain why premium model cars take longer to test than basic cars. I know a couple of garages round here use 45 minute slots for their MOT's, but I'm sticking with 60 minute slots. I plan to get an ATL bay in the new year, I will have another look at the average times then. Fav
