My 16-year old MX-5 needed its MOT a month ago (MOT being the UK test every car has to undergo every year to ensure it's safe). Due to a move it's been sitting in front of my house for that entire month looking glum. I finally got it tested yesterday and it passed, first time, with flying colours - not even a quibble about emissions which I was worried about due to a fried catalyser. Another year of fun, hurray! :-) Just thought I share that.
