You do realise, that while you tyres will pass an MOT with 2mm of tread, they atually cease to be effective in treading water at 3mm?

Well best of luck to you too Dai!

To preserve the anniversary of the expiry date the earliest you can present your vehicle for test is 09/12/2008
.... so I reckon that's 30 days . Any advances?

Anyway she's booked in for 16:30 on Monday. Just discovered that my usual tester is off sick (cancer get well soon Phil!) so there's a different bloke, and that always makes me a bit nervous. Car should be fine (front tyres are well worn, but I've measured them today and they're clearly over 2mm even at the worst bit ) but I hope Phil recovers before I've got to take the Zook in in the summer

The earliest date that you can get take you car for MOT is printed on the certificate

Good luck with your test, and best wishes to your tester, Phil.

Mines in at the quacks now

I've got 'the loaner' today

It passed !!

Advisories:

Slight play in o/s rear upper sussy bush (like last year

)
Oil leak! (have you never MOT'd a Peugeot before?

)

No too bad eh?

Woohoo!

Post by **Welly** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 12:18 pm

Woohoo indeed. The MOT man is not my usual and he looks like an Army Major (complete with bushy tash) he even arrives at work of a morn with a Brief Case

Scary people.
