In case anyone hasn't kept up to speed with legislation, having skimmed through "spray-on mud". Firstly MOT's yes they are going up in cost, but MOT stations are set to live by Sept this year. Meaning You need to book your MOT in advance, average cost to be £45. Mr MOT man will swipe his testers card enter your details and has 30 to 45 mins to perform test. All details held on central database. Have you ever noticed the small bar-code on the tax discs? This will eventually hold all your details, presently as you drive on the motorway some of those funny looking cameras record the bar-code and your reg. Basically no more opportunities to run your car without a current mot till your tax runs out. Another interesting one, if you decide to go for an MOT as your favourite ride is due one shortly, like in a couple of months. Well the central database will record the result (i.e.. fail) and date it from that day as being the current certificate. Anyone else any thoughts????
