So what is MOT and how do you get more of it?

is that like a secret British mojo? Sounds like something Austin Powers (A true representation of British people) would know about!

Lol! "Ministry of Transport" test.... Annual thing to prove your car is safe/roadworthy. Brakes, lights, horn, emissions, steering, tyres ... all that kind of good stuff! You can get failed for the stupidest of things (got failed last time for "excessive play" in the steering column.... pointed out to the tester he hadn't got the adjustment lever set properly...... pass!

Paul,

Y'all aren't alone on the stupidity of inspections. Here are some of the things I've gotten 'failed' for in the past (not the VX though):

1. seat belt webbing was too stiff

2. hood didn't pop up when release was pulled (released but didn't didn't pop up 1").

3. lift blocks on the front - there weren't any ... he was looking at the spring perch & changed his mind when I pointed out that NOBODY would go to the trouble of installing 1/4" lift blocks

4. gas cap was too difficult to remove (OEM cap kept getting stolen so the aftermarket one that PO put on kept getting re-used)

5. windshield washer didn't work - it did, he just couldn't find it.

That was with my ol' 79 Dodge Power Wagon. It got to be a 'laugh or cry' thang every year ... even started an office pool on how many things I was going to get failed on.
