Having recently been appalled by this, posted on the recent Jaguar/Land Rover thread:

I am pleased to report that my 13 year old, 130,000 mile Honda Jazz, bought eight months ago for £1290, just zipped thru' its MOT without touching the sides.

Reminding me of my all time favourite ad:

Just a matter of finding a friendly tester

Our 10 year old SMax diesel ozone planet killer, just cost 80 pence (plus cost of MOT) , I thought this year was going to be a costly one. Happy day

Do boats have a mot.?

I don't think I've needed an mot since the turn of the century but have been horrified by the ever increasing cost of the annual bike service at this time of year after dealing with the worst of a Scottish winter.

First year in 14 years I havnt had a car mot. One less thing in life to think about :-)

My Octavia's passed its first 3 MoT tests for me (reg'd mid 2011, & I bought it in Spring 2012)
Last years was a fail, due to 'excessively weeping front shock absorbers', but they'd been an advisory item the year before

It's due a service soon, so it'll get a good look over, from our trusted garage

I brought my Suzuki Swift in january 2017 and looking at its MOT history on here.

All its had is advisories for worn tyres in 2015

£500 this year (10 year old Honda) because our properly awful local roads had resulted in not one, not two but three knackered shocks. They were the original 120,000 mile old ones mind you. I expect the fourth won’t last past the next service.

Previous history shows it’s only previously failed on bulbs, worn wipers and once on a tyre.

Mine failed on a couple of tyres last year, duly replaced (@ 22000 miles & 6 years, at least one was an original)...oh and a number plate bulb

Previous year - a windscreen wiper needed replacing

My local MOT tester is known as 'Tommy' as he must be deaf, dumb and blind to have passed some of the cars that he did.
