u wont work there so surely its money that is the issue?

a small one man shop that just does small dents, scrapes and scratches are a really easy thing to do and can bring in quick cash!

you can make a lot of money even if you do solely mots. You apply for mot test certifcates and mot slot. Think they are about £1 each. So you can buy 200 mot slots £200. Then you can charge £44.15 for each mot and again for a retest if yo want. Thats the only expense plus rates, taxes and equipment. Equipment can all be bought at once from some places.

and you wont have a constant stream of MoT applicants have you EVER seen a dedicated MoT test centre?

Yes, there are several near me.
