Took my Mistral in for M.O.T. this morning ..... and she passed !!! M.O.T. tester VERY FRIENDLY .... put copperslip on steering-lock stops, pointed out any areas where problems could occur .... pointed out to me that rear brakes were excellent on handbrake, but not so good on pedal, and seemed to know his way around Mistral / Terrano II , so needless to say , I will be putting work his way again in future . Truck has only done 7,000 Klm since last test , and she is right now till 12th. March 2009.

can an mot tester test his own car?

yes they can! I know this for a fact, but personaly it may not be considered ethical, but on the other hand if we were to deny him/ her the abiltiy to test their own cars, would we basicaly be questioning their integrity?

My Mistral has failed today on a rear suspension bush, an anti roll bar linkage a dim side light bulb, a wiper blade and the emissions test, so not too costly.

For the emissions he has added a fuel system treatment and advised me to thrash it to clear the soot out of the exhaust over the weekend and I've got to wait till Monday for the Bush to be delivered.

And he agreed with Jace that you can MOT your own car but gets someone else to do it for the certificate.

Well that's the maverick through another MOT again, No problems at all, all I did was clean out the rear brake drums and adjusted the handbrake prior to submitting. Checked all the bearings, bushes, still on original everything not bad for a vehicle 13 years old.
Why is it so stressful at this time of year... ?
Again it's thanks to this club that I check all the things that can go wrong and keep on top of things, so MOT time is a quick 30 minute pre-check.
Best regards, Rustic
