Miggy gone in for MOT ....
Is it being done at 'work'? ;)

You want to try our MOT. All MOT stations are run by the ministry not independents or garages allowed. There a bit like VOSA stations that MOT lorries. OK it's every two years but they can fail you on the consistency of the brake fluid and the minimum tread depth is different. It breaks your heart to scrap tyres with 3 mm left. The ministry even have mobile artic lorry MOT stations that they can set up in any lay-by. Germany's even worse for this. A roadside check can consist of a full MOT type check

Got a few of the usual advisorys
Metal brake pipes contain corrosion
Slight play in steering rack
1 tyre down to 2mil
Unable to inspect the underside and outer sills due to plastic covers???? ??? Thats a new one on me?
Overall chuffed though, shame I'm getting rid, cost of fuel + my weekly commute to work, can't really justify £300 odd just for going to work & back a month :'(

Good luck. :y

I have had that once on an old Carlton I had. Think they might do it to cover themselves when cars are getting on in years.

Good news :y :y

As Henryd said there not allowed to remove anything to inspect and if the tester is a bit anal he/she will has the right to make notes on the certificate. I once saw a car with the whole underneath with alloy plate pop riveted on. My mate the tester knew the car was rotten under the plate but because he couldn't remove it and everything else was OK he had to pass the car
-
Well done! :y :y
-
I'm glad its passed but mixed feelings now :-\ gonna have to get a durty diesel and well move on the miggy :'( I'll probably px it which really means I'll be giving it away, but just have to loose a bit to gain a bit ::) ::)
-

Why? What's everyones obsession with newer diesels :-\ Yes you might save £120 a month on fuel, but that will just about cover the finance on a 4-6 year old diesel grotbox which will still need servicing/tyres/Mot/tax/insurance and when the fuel system or dpf fail, which they will soon enough, then you'll be kicking yourself for getting rid of the Omega :-\
