First MOT in over 30 years. Track so narrow it barely fitted on the ramps. But it passed...which was nice.

Mechanics, MOT testers, sales people - what's the most unusual vehicle you've had in for an MOT? Was it tricky to test?

Friendly reminder that an MOT is testing what is good AT THE TIME OF THE TEST, not how the car will look in 5 months time.

DPF (diesel particulate filter bill House of Commons today). A single faulty filter produces the same amount of pollution as a 3 lane 360 mile long traffic jam! 2nd reading for a change to MOT rules in March.

Please don't try and fix your suspension with wood. Don't then drive up the M6 massively overloaded, it will not end well as the tyre could not stand the weight. This van has been #prohibited and the driver prosecuted. 5543

This vehicle came in for an MOT test recently when we discovered that it had a broken coil spring. We replaced the coil spring with a new one and the vehicle passed its MOT, meaning that the customer could get safely back onto the road. thefoundrygarage.co.uk/book-online/

MOT Exemption needs removing or reviewing. I keep seeing people, especially on old Brit car groups, casually announcing they’ll be driving an old (and unknown) car to X location and how it’ll be ok because you don’t need an MOT anymore. (1/3) 🧵

So, MOT Open Consultation. 😶 Thoughts?

Visual MOT is now free! (or at least the source code is, so other developers can create their own version of the app and build on it) Interestingly the DVSA look to be trialling camera based functionality in their own system too. ssims.co.uk/personal/blog/…
