Well I have never had a car that required an MOT before so this Friday is a first for me and the ZS.

Fingers crossed it will be ok, pretty nervous, but its running ok so im hopeful.

Least its only once a year lol.

I'd say it should be fine...

I've had a few cars (ZR and a 9YO 214) through the NI MOT and it's harder to pass than the ones you folks have to endure.

The monkeys in control of our minds (the overpaid ministers) are now proposing we have an MOT every 2 years. Are they mad ? There's enough potential death traps and rot boxes on our roads already. Sometimes you have to wonder what they are smoking !

I'm in the same boat in March, I've never had one before either lol

I'm sure it'll be fine though

best of luck mate, hope it passes easily. I agree with Mat, its a terrible idea to wait 2 years between mots.

You'll be fine, mine passed every time.

I agree, the every two years idea is not a good thing, breeds complacency.

Well if the MOT tester does it to the book then it will fail. Dad just shown me the new section on the number plates and they not only have to have all that we previously thought but they need to be the standard size (ie the correct oblong dimensions or square plate) So Sammy technically yours are to small.
