MOT Time
- Thread starter Baza 07
- Start date
Mot time is always a wait and see time, failure from not checking silly things like lights and horn results in many failures.
I never understood that. Even air in tyre is always checked long before that time. Good prior maintenance it should float through. Good luck anyways.

And make sure the bike is not covered in filth. If it looks presentable and well maintained it's a good start. I've seen bikes with rusty sagging chains and various components lashed together with gaffer tape, and then seen the testers reaction when presented to him. Lack of respect really, all MOT guys have endless horror stories.
Mate of mine (many) years ago would provide a test cert by request in the pub for the price of a few beers. But he wouldn't do it for all of our group, there were some proper nails which he wouldn't touch with a bargepole and rightly so.

I seem to recall back in the 70’s people soaking their MOT certificates in brake fluid to remove the written content, then drying them and writing new dates. I didn’t have experience of that, but I did see first hand some ingenious attempts at altering tax discs.
Thanks for the replies fella's as always,the only thing i forgot to check where
the fork seals,and so it failed on both,absolutely pissin out

Why a fail on fork seals, they are just cosmetic, it has a fuck off big shock absorber doing all the work lol
Of course you're right. But it seems most MOT places are still flummoxed by the beemer's 'strange front end'.
I had a debacle with pattern fork seals that were weeping/misting after fitting. But I got an advisory, not a failure. I think within the week I'd bought OEM seals and they are still in there doing their thing.
Hi all,bikes all sorted new seals fitted, 12 months ticket so happy day’s,up for sale soon
