hogmaw Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Good news I reckon, esp for those of us without cats: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_method=full%26objectid=18175861%26siteid=94762-name_page.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Oh yeah, and you reckon it'll only be £100 a time- I doubt it. I'm not comnvinced this is a good idea, despite always passing almost every time for 10 years (damn Pug). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think to myself RESULT but then again is this a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think it's ok in that most modern cars are manufactured way above the spec that the test was originally intended to find fault with. Nut the main issue is as far as I am concerned, and other BPU Supras, is that we won't have to have the annual problem we have with MOT emmisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunts raggedy shitbox Mondeo badly failed it's recent MOT- imagine that hunk of shit going around for another 12 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 No doubt they'll increase the cost, and make the inspection stricter. The MOT in Japan (Shaken) is every two years, and costs over 900quid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 And to be in line with Europe (especially Germany) are we only going to be allowed to work on cars when qualified?? I.e. to change brake pads we have to go back to school & get a qualification! I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 if cars were serviced regulary and the cust actually had the work carried out that was advised on the service the the 2 year mot prob wouldnt be to bad, but thay dont!! i think its a very dangerous way to go about things, just because toyota's rarely fail mot's dont mean every other car is as good.think there will be alot more death traps on the road.

Ark Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I agree. You see too many death-traps rattling round the roads as it is. The annual MOT is best, as it highlights the bangers reasonably quickly. Take a drive in the USA backcountry, you'll be amazed how many shitters there are, crashing around on sahgged shocks, with no brakes - it's scary, but they can do it because there is no MOT equivalent it seems.
