Default MOT Day

I had Blue booked in for her MOT this morning, so arrived promptly at the test centre



The owner came out shortly after taking the picture and got cracked on straight away putting her through her paces.

Had a bit chit chat with him whilst he was doing it, always good to be friendly with your local tester.

After about 30 minutes, it was all done.

A little bit of a hairy moment when he drove onto the ramp lift as I thought the splitter was going to catch the jacking equipment located in the centre of it...... thankfully it didn't....

"All done, beautiful, fantastic car you have there, lovely colour."

Why thank you Mr Tester, I KNOW!!!



Full clean sheet. Not a single advisory.

Asked if there was anything untoward or anything I need to keep an eye on and he said "No, nothing at all. Lovely and clean and I can see the discs and pads have been done. Tyres are all good with plenty of tread" etc. etc.

He expressed his pleasure at the fact he could sail through the test as it was in such good condition.

Dead pleased with the compliments and the outcome.

Also renewed my car insurance and it had only increased by £50!!???!! So a good day all round.

Congrats on the MOT pass. Its a great feeling when you tinker on cars yourself, or do as much as you can DIY without bringing it to a garage for repair and it sails through an MOT. It makes it all worthwhile!
