Title: YAY, passed mot first time!
Post by: curlie467 on 26 June 2007, 15:16

Our mk3 8v went through no problems and no advisories. Can stop panicking now, then the tester said he wanted to buy it off us. :grin:

Without trying to piss on your fire your car has got to be in fairly bad knick to fail an MOT.

I think everybody know's an m.o.t place that is lets say "easy going!!"... I have just had mine m.o.t'd by what's locally known as the strictest place in town and it failed first time on a couple of minor fault's that would be fine/advisory in other places..... That car on uk-mkiv's is really pushing it tho

With the new MOT there is very little scope for the tester to let things go like!

Mine passed on Saturday with a couple of advisories - rear wheel bearings which I got done there and then!

my golf has passed first time for the last 4 MOT's... now thats partly because i've spent so long replacing most of it and only do about 3k miles a year. my passat just failed on leaking power steering rack + split gaiter, front brake pipe corroded and a bit of welding (20p sized hole :laugh: )... not too bad for an old barge!
