New style MOT certificates WTF !!!!

[RetroTed]

Had the old girl tested today and i was given an A4 piece of paper with a signature as an MOT certificate....At first I thought it was a joke but no this is now how they are. Now I may be being a little niave but what the hay is this all about? Any low grade will be able to fudge these as they are printed on plain A4 paper with no hologramms or watermarks

It's to keep the advisories on the main certificate.

It also reduces costs.

Eh? I got mine done a few months ago and it was still a proper certificate...

It's all electronic now anyway, paper copy doesn't mean anything anymore.

What's important is that the car is shown on the database as MOTed

Buggers also list any advisories on the same sheet
