bertie_bas205 - 25/10/11 at 09:22 PM

I have had a look around the .Gov site for the test fees, its confusing to say the least.

What catagory is a Roadster in??

Or can someone tell me how much it costs??

£450 main test, £90 per additional retest.

£450 for initial test £90 for Re-test, for the roadster you need to be looking at the M1 Manual

It's a lot of money but at least we can still make Kit Cars in the UK, some countries can't.

Yes, it does sound a lot of money, but, that money is going to the government, and hence it helps them to 'boost the economy'.

However, to put it more into perspective, an MOT test is now £54.85 and takes about 30 mins - for your £450 you get about 300 mins testing - yes, it really DOES take that long.

First registration is £55.
Numberplates about £20.
Car tax is £210.
Insurance (whilst building) is about £50 to £85.

On the road insurance depends on a lot of things - mainly age - see THIS thread.


Yes, you might concievably build one for under £250 but on the road......

It sucks. And for my £540 they missed serious problems like a fuel leak and leaking front brakes, which is disappointing to say the least. I only found out about the brakes later on when the rear stepped out under hard braking.
