Ah, unleaded petrol.

They took out the lead which makes people dumb, and replaced it with stuff that gives people cancer.

Well the work van was due an mot mid April, checked the certificate & it's currently done just over 28,000 miles since last year, if it goes while November (please god no, just replace it) it'll be over 40,000 miles between tests

Its from the date of the test. If it passes, you get your year.

It was, we did.

+1 MOT done and passed this morning

Ending 1 August, September could be bumper month for the testing stations, those that are normally due from September will be trying to book in & those from March will also.

 

[Drago]

That's a bummer, mine falls due in early September and I was looking forward to the 6 month extension, but que sera sera.

Ah, so her claim was decline because the vehicle was unroadworthy, not because the MOT had been extended.

Agreed, the insurers stated that it would have been picked up by the MoT testers

 

[Drago]

Although, its interesting that insurers have a time machine and are able to go back and examine brake pads on the date the test should have been done.

That her pads were nacked when she crashed is one thing - claiming they 'would' have been picked up had it had the 1 year MOT is speculation. Probably well founded speculation, but speculation nevertheless.

It's the drivers responsibility to check the condition/ roadworthiness of the vehicle before driving..
