Yup, that time of year again. ZS booked in Friday morning (off nightshift) for MOT.
Cant see anything obvious wrong with Zed, but local mechanic will do the business...............fingers crossed!!!!!! :slap:

I have been doing many miles in the Zed lately with the T5 project & stupid call-outs etc, but I have looked after the Zed with regular oil changes etc. I have to say it's been a wonderful car....and for many miles & years I hope!!! :yes:

I've never had a car fail an MOT...


Mind you that is usually because I'll say...."do what it needs", specially when it comes to old heaps :D

I think the local garage are rather particular in their quest for failiures!!!
Mrs Mrt's VW Polo failed on a cracked headlamp bulb holder. My local mechanic replaced it. Hairline fracture on the assembley, that caused the bulb to be unsteady!!!!
Still sometimes I would rather have a 100% motor that I am driving, than some shoddy `just got through` type :yes:

It'll be fine... Have it in that 'well looked after state', but not too well looked after. ;)

Front fogs are not tested..................I only have the one myself as the nearside one is my cold air feed ;)

As stamford says fronts aren't tested but you only need a driver side one on the rear
