Default YESSSS thats another pass for the year!!
The Honda passed with flying colours today with only a wiper blade needed to pass(even though it cleared the screen fine? ) not bad for nearly 130k(miles)

Isnt a great feeling when your motor gets another years ticket?

Why? If you look after your car properly you shouldnt need an MOT man to tell you if its safe or not unless you're a pikey whos not fussed about putting other people in danger

LOL, I gave up telling the Mrs how to drive 3 years ago.

But I do most of the driving anyway so it doesn't matter too much. And it managed to get through 70k miles!

Bargain of a car for a grand. Problem is the body is starting to corrode, so we may be in trouble.

I'm not debating anything, clearly your car is looked after too. I'm just saying I don't get that euphoria that you do

Rear wiper is not a testable item

It was obviously a front wiper or it wouldn't have been flagged up then!
