My 2003 Nissan Almera tomorrow... probs only done about 1000 miles this year... fingers crossed.

Hurrah. Passed, nothing to do. Now I can park it up for the next few months, haha.

Just checked back, and it's done a total of 2755 miles total in the last three years.

Volvo back.

New tyres first thing, then a good clean and back in the carcoon for it until I'm back from me hols.

Son no. 2's, and my old, Tepee gets an annual MOT today. We'll see what the tester thinks ...

I 'think' the Aygo my son has been repairing, finally get's a re-test this week - failed on emissions, so new cat and sensors fitted. Waiting list is a couple of weeks to get booked in.

Tepee failed on welding needed on rear suspension mount - all done and a new certificate issued. That's the Tepee still on the road despite 173,000 miles, a previous careless old lady owner and my use of it as a race transport / support wagon.

It had the same advisory as last year for a minor oil leak, but this year they found the bonnet strut which was an advisory last year.

It was four weeks at my garage. Not sure why 'waiting lists for MOTs' is a thing now. Maybe it's since it's been on the NHS.

Retested - failed on emissions again and a few other things, despite the new cat. Time to bite the bullet and scrap it. Not going to be worth trying to further get this thing running.

Racing a tepee that's pretty desperate!!
