My Italian money pit has just gone through it's MOT and annual service for £240. It was a third of the VW's, less than half of the citreons and even cheaper than the ancient Micra's. Given there was only indicator bulbs in the MOT and they hadn't gone only not orange enough, it was only the service. Next year it'll probably be a lot more but happy for now.
Got mine pending end March and whilst checking on it in storage noticed my airbag light was on and the good old handbrake feels below efficiency so it'll fail at the outset Hopefully the airbag may be a poor under seat connection and do have a spare airbag module if needs be.
