Thanks, didn't realise this was an option now. Happily just found out my old Ka is still going strong, thought the lady I sold it to had run it into the ground and given up on it. Definitely a lot worse for wear after she'd had it for a year though, judging by the failure list!
 
Found my old RS Turbo is still going after 25 years! Seems to have done less miles now than when I sold it in 1993... with a very colourful MOT history.

But lately seemms to be doing 200 miles a year and very good MOT history - maybe restored somewhere! H770 UVH

Old ford with analogue ODO? Maybe it has actually gone around the clock!
 
Who's going to bet that the RS isn't the same one it was before? I wonder how many ringers/cheating is going to be uncovered.

It sounds as if it was ready for the scrap yard in 2009.

It has barely been used for years now.
 
Quite interesting to look back at old cars (I've only had 3) and see if they're still on the road.

Makes me wonder what kind of life they are living now. The first one I think met it's maker in 2011 and given the amount of fails it had in the years prior, I'm not really surprised.

Plenty of memories :)
 
Mine seems to fail each time on the items i tell them to fix BEFORE mot'ing it, then passes on the retest same day..

Maybe its a new way of logging any work done?

Any mot testers here to clean this up?
Might be that they MOT it first to find all the faults so they can fix them together. Much more logical than fixing, testing, fixing some more then passing. Most places offer a free retest anyway so it doesn't really matter all that much
 
That's cool just looked up the car I'm picking up on Friday. It's passed every mot first Time since 2006 with only advisorys are Tyer levels and it's only done about 10k since 2011 with only 85 on the clock going to check the Mrs car and see what shows up
 
Cool link, sure there used to be one where it showed this info but also the garage it was MOT'd to see if it was still local. One of my mates sold his car and regrets it, only done 2 thousand miles in 2 years since its been gone :lol:
 
That's good fun.

Looking back on some of my cars, I bought an Astra GSi Turbo brand new back in 2003. Sold it in 2008 with 105,000 miles on the clock.

It passed an MOT in July with 115,000 miles. Not sure I'm believing that.
My old Astra GSI passed another MOT test the other day.

It's gone from 143,000 2 years ago, 115,000 last year and only 73,000 this year. :lol:
