MoT Failure!
Well it's happened - 10 years total of ZT ownership, no fails - until today.
My son now owns the car, so I can still claim no failures I guess It failed on 'green' number plate digits...and driver side Xenon aim is too low. The 'green' plates turned out to be the tester being colour blind - as they are grey and have passed MoTs for at least 6 years previous..the garage even bought new plates (rectangle to replace smiley rear ) - so they have been returned! Hoping the headlight will be something simple - the suspension was lowered recently and lights were replaced recently too - maybe a sensor issue? They both move up on start up. Another one for Lates on Saturday when it goes in for a steering pump...he will be pleased Last edited by Slaya; 22nd February 2022 at 17:01.. Reason: spacing |

Bad luck - I hope it passes the retest.

I know we all need to earn a living but really the tester shouldn't have DVSA accreditation to carry out MOTs if a physical impairment means that he cannot conduct them properly. At the very least you'd think that a colour blind person would seek a second opinion if they had some doubt about the colour of something.

Bullet dodged!
ZT went in again for a retest - headlight level looked ok to me when I had a quick look....and it passed this time with flying colours, no advisories. Now we can breathe easy again till July when the next MG MoT (my TF) is due!
