need for a steering lock for the MOT
my mates vitesse has no steering lock but his spitfire does, on the falcon would I need one for the MOT, if its first registered in 1977? I was
wanting to have the key on the dash too as big bike chain and padlocks the normal thing for that car

cheers, my SI obiously never had one either but all I can see is this in the MOT web manual -
quote:
5. Check the presence and security of retaining and locking devices. Note: The inspection is not concerned with the type of locking device, only its
presence and security.
5. A retaining or locking device missing or insecure.
which doesn't make it clear at all why some cars wouldn't need it

That reference to retaining or locking devices looks to me like it refers to Nylocs or tab washers and the like, not security devices.
Or possibly it refers to bonnet catches and safety catches?
