I wonder how much fun that was to drive.........
And most non petrol heads that I have conversation with believe an MOT is same as a service.....
My parents are exactly like this. Invariably when their cars break down it's because they've been "ripped off" and then slag the garage off. I'm not exaggerating either.And most non petrol heads that I have conversation with believe an MOT is same as a service.....
On the plus side, I've not seen them for nearly 6 years so it annoys me much less than it used to.
Does worry me. A good female friend of mine has a lease car through her own business. Went for service yesterday, and they reported it needed tyres. They can't them in until this afternoon.
I asked her the mileage, 42k, had she ever looked at her tyres, no??? Why would she, thats what the service and MOT is for. She is showing canvass apparently, and was upset they wouldn't let her take it home! Jeez

This sort of thing is very common now drivetrains are so reliable, no points or carbs to fettle, meaning as long as the car starts the perception is things are OK.
Couple that with many people being short of cash and thinking an MOT is a service and you end up with vehicles like the above.
And to think there was a proposal to extend MOT tests to every 2 years.
