corrado vr6 - 26/4/11 at 11:09 PM

Evening all, Im trying to finish my mini resto in time for london to brighton but really running out of time it will need an mot before i can do the run i was just wondering whats the bare minimum that it will need doing ie: windows working as i have put electric ones in but may not have time to wire them up obviously it needs to be running engine etc but interior wise does it need door cards to cover sharp edges and wiring? i dont think things like this matter but just wondered what others thought / knew? Thanks in advance Greg

You can check the mot manual online, it gives you a full list of things that get tested, its pretty helpful

don't panic, I've put production cars through MOT's who's interiors just had a dash, 2 seats and a steering wheel and that's it! not probs with the MOT at all, you can pass even without a speedo (though they write down that it wasn't there) it's nothing like an IVA

The mot is the mininum condition of the vehicle

anyone seen beetle crisis?

They put that through in time basically without any interior present.

1 bottle of jack daniels and a £20 note in the testers pocket?
