Don't worry Bonzo, I wasn't having a dig

And having owned "classic" cars (old MGs) for years I'm acutely aware of how an MOT failure doesn't necessarily mean the car isn't safe to drive - "mumble mumble, you failed it on what???"

There's a good point though that buying a decent running donor gives you a no stress chance to check that it's all running good.

Bigest worry for all of us if we did something like this is the proliferation of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) it flags up if the car has no MOT, Insurance orTax.

I would think very carefully before driving any car without full cover of all these points

Bonzo,dont beat yourself up about the comments you made,there is so much myth about things relating to MOT Matters (no pun intended fellow NT's)and not one VOSA chappie will commit to saying Yes that is correct,the usual answer is "what does it say in the manual" answer,a lot of old cods.

The RTA makes no sense,the MOT is not worth the paper its printed on and only valid at the time of test and as stated on the rear of the form,its not a statement of roadworthyness and most would be horrified at what would pass the test going by the book and not what they think the book says and the way it is interpreted.

Everybody is entiteled to their opinoin and it sounds like we both suffer from excess time in the trade.
