The annual on mine last year - no work needed, just the inspection,
cost just over £1700. Includes a radio check and a recurring "use a
mirror to look at the prop flange" AD.

They do a thorough job though, but I'd expected (before I bought
the place) the inspections to be only about £1000.

Crossposting this to uk.rec.aviation. How much are annual inspections
on everyone else's planes in the UK? (just the inspection part)

For the annual on our 172 that just ended last month, our mechanic
quoted us 18 hours of labor on just the inspection. Turned out he did a
VERY thorough inspection in that time
The inspection plus parts and labor to fix various things (new brakes,
etc.) totaled about $2000.
