For what it's worth, I always think advertisements that say " would take minimal effort to pass MOT " prompt the question, " well why doesn't he put it through the MOT then ? " I'm sure it would be easier to sell if it had an MOT.


sheepish0001 - 15/8/11 at 10:41 AM

only reason it doesnt have an MOT is id need to trailor it down and i dont have a tow car, so when I say minimal effort i mean you have to get it there. I would be willing to test it for any one that was interested ie they want to buy it ill find a way to get it tested, dont want to get it tested only for it to carry on living in my garage

if any one is interested I would therefore put the car through a test before it was collected so it would have 12 months test

I also have a whole raft of spares that would go along with the car just general bits and bobs from owing several minis over the years

You can drive to the MOT without tax or MOT, just insurance.
