MOT Tests: 2005-2011
This is now largely academic as, since November 2012 there has been no requirement to pass an MOT - see here
Beware - most modern garage hoists are only JUST narrow enough to fit the Ten. Drive onto the hoist dead straight with alert guidance and extreme care.
June 2005:
After some deliberation, I put AYD56 in for the MOT test this month. It was really a test of what I had done so far and I didn't really expect a pass. It was most pleasing to find that the brakes worked and pulled up fairly evenly all round. Also that the headlights had been properly aimed (I did it by eye!)
The only failure points were the front drag-link balljoint (which I hadn't spotted) . . . .
. . . . and the offside king-pin (which I had spotted). See Steering & King-Pins
But after these two small jobs, here is the MOT certificate - together with the last Certificate from 1977. Mileage = 78,886
and the Tax Disc - back on the road after 27 years!

Sadly, this is the latest MOT when checked October 2020 so where is it now?
