£200 + VAT to fix. Sounds reasonable?

To fix everything, including the welding? Seems like a cheap price in that case.

That's not a bad price. Especially if they're replacing the CV boot. The welding I'd expect to set you back about £60 minimum.

The wheel bearing would be about £10 in parts, and at least an hour's labour.

Plus you save yourself a load of hassle by having someone else do it, and you /know/ it's going to pass afterwards, rather than do all the work yourself, miss the free retest because you've taken too long then some other tester finds some other stuff wrong.

They can not fail cars on Disc and Pads, Look into it, aslong as it passes the brake test.
New laws came out not long ago.
I do not know the wording VOSA use BUT i know it has changed recently......
