You can uncross 'em now Mike -it passed.
Advisories on "slightly corroded front brake discs" & "too low for brake test rollers", but otherwise we're good.
Gary, a local recovery guy, took it to the test station for us & drove it in -yeah, I know it should've been me, but I'm still not confident driving an auto. I'd rather wait till it's all legal & I can get a feel for it on the road, rather than shunting back & forth in a yard, trying not to hit anyone's car.
So going from the back of the recovery truck into the MOT garage was it's first time on public roads! Must admit it looks great among modern cars on a busy street. Certainly gonna get lots of attention when we're out & about. Left my camera at the workshop, so no pics I'm afraid.
So now I've got a couple of forms to complete, then should be able to travel up to the DVLA office in Wimbledon on my day off on Monday. They may just accept the paperwork, or they might want to see the vehicle, in which case I'll need to arrange transport for it again. Just 6 weeks left till the SVA test certificate expires!
