|  Sailed Through!!! MOT'd car in advance this afternoon and it absolutely flied through its MOT, only failing the headlight angle test because I'd left the adjuster on "3" and a swift flick up to "0" got it right.  Now basking in my MOT'd Fabia.

| Never had to have an MOT on a car yet! 1st car - Pug 106 with free insurance, had for 3 years, went back the day before the MOT was due.  2nd car - Fabia 1.4 16v, had for 2.5 years, so didn't need an MOT.  Now on the Fabia vRS. Will we be keeping this one long enough? That is the question!

| My Octy RS goes in for it's first MoT on tuesday. Finger's crossed. Chips in the headlights is my only worry.

But seriously, it's pretty hard for a well-maintained car to fail on it's first MOT... Rob.

Second car I've owned and first MoT. Little worried. But apparently it has to be more of a full-on crack in the headlamp to fail the MoT.

30 now therefore first MoT. That's still for the car, not me. I don't believe there's an MoT for drivers when they reach 30.

| Never owned a car yet that didn't need an MOT within a year. The Octy is the newest thing I've ever bought and that was about 26 months old when I got it. Diff'rent strokes .... |
