[QUOTE="KateLovesPurple, post: 601608, member: 743"] Personally I think the whole idea is a very poor one, for all the reasons listed in posts above. However I also agree with what has been said that people who drive and maintain these old vehicles should take stock of themselves and decide whether they are competent enough to maintain the vehicle to a roadworthy standard without the independent annual check. I have been doing my own mechanics since I was 17 (too many years ago now) and have rebuilt and brought back to life a few old VW's over the years and still occasionally I have missed something that the MOT tester has picked up. Nothing major I hasten to add! So, in my view an independent pair of eyes could be invaluable in keeping our vehicles safe, especially when you may not have access to a pit or lift so checking underneath outside in a cold and windy driveway is not so easy! Just my thoughts! [/QUOTE]
