ML now MOTd although not impressed.
…………..
Still, a pass is a pass and at least I am able to clearly demonstrate that both advisories are BS. So it's not the end of the world.
I had similar when my BMW went in for its very first MOT. Hitting a pot hole had left a bulge in one of the front tyres, so I ordered a pair to balance it out, even though the car had less than 12K miles on the clock. They said they’d fit the tyres in the morning and MOT it in the afternoon, so imagine my annoyance when they failed it in the morning…….. for having a bulge in the tyre.
I complained to them and I complained to their head office, but head office told me that they always do the MOT before fitting new tyres in case it fails on something wheel related, then it saves them from removing the wheels twice when they do the repair. I told him that I’d never in a million years take my car to them for mechanical work so they shouldn’t assume they’d get the work.
So, lesson learnt, never have tyres fitted on the same day that your car is MOT’d. I’ve also vowed never to use Merit Tyres ever again, even though they are my nearest tyre and MOT station. Even before this, I wouldn’t have let them loose on a bicycle, let alone an actual car.
So, the car failed its very first MOT and then passed an hour later. What was the point in that?
