And she failed...on two utterly trivial points. The first was on the fuel filler cap (cos I am an idiot and lost the original cap and put a temp cap in (which I did not realise is illegal at MOT time redface. At the time that happened I also completely forgot to post an envelope to the kind soul on here who offered me their old one and subsequently lost their details when my laptop died, double redfaceredface). It also failed on the numberplate that has been on the car since 2004, for not being see-through!!! How then did it pass since 2004??? confused

Oh well, shouldn't complain really, just need to fit the stuff when it arrives later this week, they will do a visual check and pass the car. But I genuinely didn't know those darn filler caps were not legal grumpy.

yes I've had a car fail because of one of those filler caps. All in all a good outcome; there's so many more things Chims could fail on.
