valkyries Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 they test the car to make sure it's safe to be on the road, without certificate you can't drive the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 What's MOT? Ministry Of Transport. It's a comprehensive annual road worthiness test to ensure the car is fit for driving. You can / will be fined for driving without a valid MOT test certificate. When it's done it's logged in a central database that the police have automatic access to if your number plate (license plate) is scanned and they see you haven't got a valid certificate they can take your vehicle, impound and crush it.

mjonathan24 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 There's one very big reason why people sell these cheaply, the head gasket. if you have a k series engine it is very likely to have been changed or need changing. And you would be looking at £600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever paid £600 for the head to be done on a k series engine you was robbed next time you need one doing bring it here and I will make £400 on taking it to a garage round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
