Remind me, again, exactly what is it that we are to be MOT'ing in February?

 

A 1968 Ford UNKNOWN? There must be a physical car to put on the ramps??

You would think in this day and age the MoT regulations would have brought in the requirement for a digital photo of each vehicle every time it was tested. 

Although this one is of course exempt on grounds of age, current owner has a few weeks left to transfer the plate off.

It's most peculiar that this thing has now been taxed and MOTed for nearly a year yet nobody has ever seen it, and there's been loads of activity with SORN and new V5s but nobody at the DVLA appears to have questioned that. Will be interesting to see if it gets MOTed again this year and how much the mileage has increased.

This is now a thing. Or certainly was as of last night at my favourite mot place. Wasn't a thing last time I went though last night they defo took a pic of the Panda over the pit. 

Would of thought this new addition times well with available tech to get around it for those intent on a no show ticket. Not saying thats the case with the Ford Timelord or that anyone would do such naughtiness of course.

Seems to be a thing with imported/non-UK vehicles, and sometimes, UK sold vehicles but from long ago.

It does seem to be a strange thing about WGU 18G going through a test. 

I suspect, it's had a "telephone" MoT given the interest around it. This just gets the tongues wagging again.

Photo is part of MOT now. Still won't stop the professional ringer etc.
