yea, now the garage will only re-do the MOT for free if they carry out the work. Although i think some garages will still let you go away and get it repaired..

Im guessing from what you say that you have an odd sized tyre. Tyres on the same axle have to be the same.
As for the retest I'm sure its at their discretion if they charge for a retest. All the info is on the fail sheet mate, just have read of that.

on the sidewall of your tyre there will be a number like 195/50/15 or similair depending on your size obviously..
Basically these numbers have to be the same on both tyres.
If your in any doubt just phone the garage and get them to explain the problem.

1) side indicators (there missing aso new they would fail as they are on order).
- after a certain year, all cars must have side repeaters.
2) a tyre being od and not having a correct number on it ??? wtf help
- wrong tyre size. tyres must be the same size and speed ratin accross the axel. aslo 'x'ply and radle tyres cannot be on the same axel.
