1st MOT
907 - 27/4/18 at 06:33 AM

Took the Suttol for it's first Mot yesterday. Is it really three years on the road?


I was hoping that the computer at the local garage would recognise the "first registered 1st May 2015" and date the MOT from that day, but no, dated from 26th April.

But then, to rub salt in the wound, it came up on the screen as; Year of Manufacture 1901


Now I know I took my time over the build but, 1901 is taking the pee

p.s.

It passed btw, but the main beam tell tale bulb has slipped out of its holder so didn't show.
"Don't suppose you drive this at night, so I'll let that go", he said.

I think that'd be you - vs everyone else (combined)

Well done on the pass.

I wouldn't worry much about the "year of manufacture" being wrong. The DVLA often make mistakes!

Sadly trying to correct them usually causes more pain than good though.

?????? Free Tax ??????

Yeah free tax but you have to drive everywhere with someone walking in front of you with a flag

You don’t need an MOT either if it’s that old.
