There is something about owning a fatty and having the apprehension of the MoT test every year.
Thankfully yet another year passed with no advisories so now enjoying a blissfully peaceful moment for however long that lasts!  _______________________________________________

I’m impossible to please:
A straight pass with no advisories always has me a little disappointed that I don’t have the opportunity to fiddle with/fix something or have an excuse to buy a new tool.
OTOH, a pass does feel like a very small Lottery win, for 24hrs  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I says something when you get the call from the garage and to says it’s passed and your first thought is “really?”

 V8 or else ...

@fisha:

That sounds a bit like “Er, did you really do a thorough job of it?”  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I have an old X350 and this year while waiting for the result I heard the Mechanic say to the Receptionist "That old bloke keeps his Jag nice". ☹️ Or as they say in these parts 'in canny nick'.
Maybe he spotted the Worthers Originals and the cloth cap.

Maybe being FF owners and members of this forum makes us a little cynical and/or pessimistic?

Mine passed with an advisory for the "front N/S brake disc worn, but not excessively".....well, no-sh!t Sherlock......brakes have a habit or wearing down, so unless he's taken a micrometer to the disc to measure the thickness, then of course it's worn!

Or am i being cynical?

This was the gist of the conversation I had with SWMBO when I came back from the testing station:

She: well, what's the damage?

Me: It passed with flying colours!

She: No! Really? Nothing at all?

Me: No, nothing.

She: Well that is going to cost you at some point!

Just can't win!  _______________________________________________

I was surprised with this years MOT in that there were no advisories. Usually get things like brake pads wearing (well they would wouldn't they) or some other nonsense.

Mine sailed through with no advisories and then the DEF injector needed replacing.
