not really... its just so good thesedays, that cars seem to pass far more MOT's than from when i remember, during the 80's and 90's, when you would always fail on somthing, that was either worn, clunking, or rusty. (or all three) i only do obvious checks, (lights tyres, wipers, visuals etc.)before i take in my car, the missus' my mother's and sometimes a friend etc. they all seem to be passing, year after year. so, i wouldn't say it was the RR, its just better made cars, seemingly are lasting longer.

Brag!!! me? never. Just nice to have straight passes, took 4 years of ownership with the FFRR before that happened though Every year there was something else that was a black mark against it so it felt like it would never happen |

everything we have passed this year as well with the notable exception of van. which failed because the washer pump had imploded on itself!

Which reminds me... I've got a handbrake cable to change before an mot next month... The tester broke it last year but passed it as he saw it was working before it snapped!! Only done about 100 miles since.... Better get it done I suppose! Previously..

MOT! What's that? 😆In WA it appeares you can get away with murder , if you stay out of plodwyn's way and that's not hard now they have been turned into mobile cameras hidden in the bushes you'l never get asked to test your car as long as you keep the registration up to date . I regularly see cars with four completely bald tyres , no brake lights and or no dampers usually all three . I used to dred MOT time a bit , now I dred going out on the roads if it's even slightly damp 😳 2008 MY Supercharged
