Well I hope your day is as good as mine.
Took mine for it's NCT test today and as it is only done every two years over here in Ireland they are very thorough .
The allocated tester was as dour as Gordon Brown after a lost By- Election and wouldn't engage in any conversation when I gave him the keys.
He pulled ,pushed ,shoogled , prodded and twisted everything above and below the car and shone that torch into every orifice but when two other inspectors gathered around  I feared the very worst.
Anyway, when he returned the keys he raised his stoney face and said that the car was A1 and congratulated me on such a well maintained car.
I have to say in all my years I've never had that said to me by a MOT Inspector and as I walked out passed the other waiting owners my two taills were wagging.
So good luck Mark.

Great stuff 

I never understand why people entrust their and their families lives to a poorly maintained death-trap...

The MOT is the only time many peoples' cars get looked at 

Well done you!!

I never understand why people entrust their and their families lives to a poorly maintained death-trap...

For the most part, it's a combination of lack of funds combined with blind ignorance.

Perhaps, but I'm not so sure that many don't prioritise other things like holidays and clothes above keeping the car safe.  We are bloody broke with a young child and huge mortgage, but keeping the car safe and reliable is prioritised over other things....our holidays are with relatives and our wardrobe is car boot chic

For most, the mechanical condition of the vehicle won't enter in to it unless it starts making noises.....and even then the mechanically illiterate will ignore it if it doesn't sound dangerous enough (which is standard human nature).
