My toy car has now passed its 5th MOT - doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

Mind you - the new MOT 'certificate' is a miserable thing, isn't it? Gone is the old green sheet with the fancy heading, to be replaced by a plain white sheet the tells you that it's just a receipt/confirmation that your car's MOT has been registered with the DVLA.

Doesn't have the same feeling of "worth"...

As a DOT/VOSA approved tester (no longer testing) the certs were never worth the paper they were written on, even in the old days of written and embossing.

And even today (still) technically only valid on the day the vehicle was/is presented for examination...........
