A1 VR6 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Just passed a 12th MOT without needing any work, well pleased - anyone else the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 1, 2010 It's a great achievement but... how many miles have you actually done in those 12 years Bill, just out of sheer curiosity? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A1 VR6 0 Posted May 1, 2010 It's a great achievement but... how many miles have you actually done in those 12 years Bill, just out of sheer curiosity? ;) Had the car 10 years Jim - did 20k in the first 3 years then 10k in the last 7. TBH I would have expected bushes and rubbers to have perished but they're still going strong. Maybe always being garaged helps :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonedef 9 Posted May 2, 2010 10 years and 8 MOTs.......sat on axle stands in the garage the last 2 years while I work in Saudi. Used as a daily before that, 70+ thousand miles. The only MOT work was replacing hard brake lines on the rear in 2007.........no complaints! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Mine has passed 8 MOT's - all first time without any work. I have managed to achieve over 100,000 miles in that time, so I think Bill's claim to fame is Rubbish !!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 6, 2010 i've never had a failed MOT on any car, tbh it makes me less confident the garage are checking things properly as no faults ever get picked up until i find them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted May 6, 2010 I cheat I suppose. A couple of months before the MOT I get my mechanic to run his eye over it and give me a list of anything that needs done then I fix them before it goes in. Result it never fails the actual MOT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
