mot

Does anyone know for definite if an E55K will pass it's MOT if it is only fitted with secondary CATs?

My E36 has just passed another MOT at MB Solihull with a few advisories; Front tyres at 3.0 mm tread Rear springs corroded Front brake pads wearing thin Not much travel left on parking brake. Oil leak (although there is no oil on the garage floor?) Not bad for an almost 20 year old car...

My beloved C250 CDI Coupe is coming to his first MOT after three years of trouble free motoring. I keep getting half price MOT offers from the likes of Halfords but I would like to take it to Mercedes if at all possible. Anybody has had any luck getting Mercedes to price match this offer...

It’s MOT time… I’m looking for a reputable garage to MOT my A200 Turbo…I’d prefer to use a MB indie based around SE London/Kent…I’m considering Merc Services in Mitcham as I’ve had work done by them in the past and they seem a decent bunch…but for convenience I really need someone closer to...

Not sure if anyone can help? Just recently returned from Germany and went to get my car MOT'd, sadly it failed because the fog light is situated on the wrong side. The rear lights were swapped for the newer LED type last year whilst I was in Germany, my old rear lights are in transit with the...

Hi all, I'm a long time member and owner of a 2.5-16 which I am finally allowing myself to sell as I have bought a replacement machine. It has 8 months MOT, tax, drives well and is fully original except for a smaller steering wheel. It has never let me down and run almost perfectly for the...

Hi My wifes car is due for its MOT which is end of jan, so I dug out the documents thismorning to get the certificate in order to book it in for its new one. Looking at the documentation I have, I have 2 failure certificates - one is a photocopy of the other. Last year the car failed and I...

Pleased my 1995 124 coupe passed Mot today. Only one advisory as follows; Front roll bar clamp bolts not clamped up all the way but no play. Now here's the point. Antiroll bars are fitted to help keep car level on bends, and if you look at the arrangement as a schematic on a piece...

Hi all, Season greetings! :) If during an MOT test the mileage of a vehicle has been inputted into the VOSA database incorrectly, can this ever be amended? Thanks J

Took my CLK for its MOT this morning and it flew through in the last 13 years 7 of them in my ownership it has passed eveytime with no advisories. The reason I believe is down to good maintenance regular servicing and regular fluid changes. Whilst I was there a 57 plate W211 came in whilst it...
