Wish me luck guys, its MOT day.
To be fair, its a 16 year old car and all Ive had to do is replace the starter motor in the last year.
As a way of appeasing the MOT gods, have a tasty modified Soarer.

Im sure all will be well! I sold my Audi as I know it would have needed a ton of work doing come MOT time.
Is it even possible to fail the MOT over there
As much as you think our MOTs are a bit of a joke, theres plenty of garages that will invent problems too to make you fail + pay to have work done.
I think my micra failed its MOT when it was 5 or 6 years old, cant remember why though. Could have been brake pads, though I dont think I ever replaced my pads!

Those rims are the sh*t, I want some for my MR2, Volk TE37s I think.

it depends where you go !
I thought I was late when I got there. Appointment at 10:45, I got there at 11.
Turns out I was early. By two months.

oh yes. Me and one of the guys I work with go to the same garage, and they are STRICT. I prefer to know when something is wrong that I might have missed. He failed on a couple of minor points, I flew through with zero problems, but a few advisories. Basically my car will do one more MOT before the rust eats out the rear footwell (Its solid now, but unlikely to be in another 2 years). He failed in various little niggles that you wouldnt have even considered! His car is an 06 plate Leon. Ive got a W-Reg 2000 Vectra!
Thank god for my friendly MoT garage, please ignore the large amount of modifications and the engine drop...
nice discovery..

youre lucky ! (apart from the 2 months early bit)
the new computerised system if you get there 5min late they tell you to sod off :(
What they said theyd done (before they spotted my blunder) was swap me and the guy before round.
He was early, got my slot and I got his 11:15 slot.
