#1: MOT fail problems costs? Author: vixytrixie, Location: t wellsPosted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:18 am ---- So my peugeot 206 just failed the MOT on the following problems , and any help with estimations would be great:
001 Offside front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt.
002. Nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt.
003. Offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt.
Im based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent so if anyone knows of any good local mechanics that would be great too.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! Really £25 for the bar and fitting!? seems cheap! Do you have any idea on costings for the 002 and 003, because i presume i will need them repaired to pass my test
#4: Re: MOT fail problems costs? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:18 am ---- about £150 inc labour so just under £200 at a guess! parts are around £40 quid for 002 and same for 003 and £70 labour! Did they not give u a price when u were there to fix it?

They are only £5 from ebay (only if your wishbones in good condition and your garage agree to carry out the work for u)
