MOT for Tamora.
Discussion
It depends on where you live or how far you want to travel (Yorkshire being the biggest County in the Country with an area of 6000sqm), but a couple of points:
Book your car in for a time slot and wait with it.
A road test isn't part of the MOT so they have no excuse to take it out.*

- Unless it's a 4 x 4 where the front axle is connected to the rear axle via a solid link.
Car is in Leeds.
A lot of mot places won't let you near the car while they do the mot - not like the old days when I'd get under the car with the examiner and tell him which bits I had replaced myself recently etc.
So I'm looking for somewhere where I can at least see what they are doing while they have the car.
Mainly keen to avoid any of the yts yoofs having a blast in a sp6 car to knotch that up on their belt.

Seriously? I've stood next to, nigh on joined in with every MOT I've ever had. Heck I usually use it as a chance to have a good poke around underneath with the benefit of the ramp. Sounds like you've had a bad experience.
(I've had a few tests where I've been asked to "hold this probe" or wave it near that car with the running engine too!)

If your car has a limited slip diff, then you MUST tell the tester in case the brake rollers cause expensive damage.Book your car in for a time slot and wait with it.

This letter from VOSA clarifies it:

So, yes, in many cases the car will be driven on the road using the decelerometer. Within the speed limit of course....

Same here, always good to have a look under the car whilst it's up in't air. As for friendly emissions tests I couldn't possibly comment (I've had a few tests where I've been asked to "hold this probe" or wave it near that car with the running engine too!)

Both own TVRs and are proper TVR nuts, they dont actually do the tests onsite but they have somewhere trusted that they take them to.
