Also interesting the improment against other cars with increased mileage. Seems to indicate that the cars that are used most pass more often.

Its interesting that there are about 4 times as many Tests for TVRs as there are Maseratis, I would have thought that number would be much closer now...

oh and 1 of 1 in 2 years of ownership

Mine's made it through first time twice under my ownership. Worth noting however is that I think the place it goes is TVR friendly wink

Currently 2 out of 2.

Year 1 advisory was weeping suspension - replaced with Gaz Golds all rounds biggrin

Year 2 advisory was engine mounts showing signs of wear & tear - nice people at Hilton & Moss to be contacted to replace these biggrin

Maybe they should introduce the 2 year MOT for uber-reliable TVR's!
