One good thing about owning my Mk2 on the far side of the world, no MOTs to deal with, ever. I do have to register it every year and there is a checklist the officials are supposed to go through similar to a very basic MOT. However, I've never seen one even bother to glance in the direction of the car, let alone try and go through the list. The only thing it does have to pass is an emissions test, because that is linked by computer to the registration. But the standards are set so low its very hard to fail.
Only thing this means is there are some very frightening vehicles on the road, combine this with some truly terrifying drivers and some crazy road designs (22 lane wide highways anyone?) and driving here can make me miss Britain and all its rules, even the MOT!
