You guys should come over to Northern Ireland to you experience a real MOT!!
Ive seen cars that have passed in England, where brought here to Northern Ireland, re-tested immediately and failed on numerous things!
but nothing compares to a japanese mot,the aussie mot is another one that is thorough but not as thorough as the japanese one
the japanese mot is called a shaken and the first one is after 3 years then every 2 years,simple things like a rip in the seat is a fail and labour rates in japan are very expensive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaken_(car_inspection,the minimum price is around 66000 japanese yen or about £510 and that is a absulute minimum,in most cases it will cost more
