trickydicky Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Anyone else get it?I'm pretty confident the car will pass, but you always have it in the back of your mind that something could be wrong (emissions or whatnot)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 i don't see why people worry about MOT's, if I have something up with the car its dealt with not left to the (useless IMO) MOT to spot it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's smaller things that bugger up MOTs.When starting my car from cold its shite to drive and idles at 1800RPM...That's probably a fail.When warmed up it's fine though!

Danzetec Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I keep some time spare to sort the failure points, that way its a nice surprise if it comes back with a green sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I'm dreading our Mondeo's MOT... Why the mrs is looking into Hire Purchasing an Audi... Â Best thing is... It's "[her] car" until it needs repairs or MOT... then it's "Well, it's our car really... you should be paying something towards it"... Yeah, I cycle everywhere and am no longer on the insurance!

DaweV6 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Depends.   Depends in what sort of a garage I'm going in to.  That's what annoys me the most about MOT's. Inconsistency.  IMHO All classes including class 4 should be done by VOSA stations and not some backstreet private garages.  At least then I could buy a car with a fresh ticket and KNOW that it is roadworthy.  Unfortunately I've seen cars in the past worth around £10k (in the dealership !) which I would never pass blindfolded.  And at that point it could be relaxed to 2 year period for private cars, seeing as loads of worthless junk is still on our roads, despite having to pass every year. Yeah, but pass what ? Moneymaking scheme ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwd Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I worry, because most mechanics are b*stards looking to rip you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
