Just got back from the dreaded mot..the guy took 5mins max to process the car (it was like going to the doctors...in and out in 5 mins) shouted "fine with me..reverse off ramps when it lowers" then walked off to get my certificate.
So i'm very pleased it hasnt cost me anything to get through

Count down to mine next month. I reckon the exhausts gonna fail mine. Otherwise it should be mint as it hasn't been anywhere since March

Well, My MOT has been and gone. Passed
, but got two advisories about my blowing exhaust and apparently my passenger side rear wheel bearing is showing signs of play, and will need adjusting. Nonetheless a very good result.

They took 10mins doing mine, and it failed
Nothing serious though, broken exhaust bracket and split CV boot.

The guy took like 20mins to do mine. Think it's coz I had to have the emissions test ontop of the regular checks, with it being an L reg.

older cars still have an emmisions check. or should do anyway.
there's just different tests for ones with & without CATs.

Yeah, thats right. So maybe the CAT test takes longer? Or maybe it just felt like ages. I was nrevous for some reason.

well I took my GT for an MOT test last week and was worried as I'd done a full mechanical rebuild on the car. I was running a spare engine so was worried about emissions, but it sailed through, so the engine was a bargain for £50.
my mk2 failed though at the weekend for both rear wheel bearings and emissions but they are both easily sorted.
