MOT

<< < (2/10) > >>

Bryanj:
But do remember that when you take out insurance you agree to keep the vehicle in a "Safe and Roadworthy condition" so the man with his cracked tyres would have real problems!!

petermigreen:
Cynical maybe but isn't this an opening for insurers to walk away if you have an accident in/on an MOT exempt vehicle. Whether you are at fault or not insurers will claim vehicle unroadworthy and you can't prove it was.
Humbug.
Peter.

Bryanj:
No they actually have to PROVE it' was unroadworthy

Green1:
I'm very undecided on this topic.
Iv never had a bike or any other vehicle fail but I have seen some incredibly dangerous vehicles.
My brother is a mechanic and tells me about a new death trap that comes in every day.
The most worrying thing is when he points it out to customers and they just don't care.

I find an MOT is rather pointless as it only tells you a vehicle is safe at moment of test things can fail at anytime. I had the brakes fail on a Transit as it was driven off the ramp at the test station after it passed.

I tend to agree with Julie on this one. My 1958Landrover is already exempt, but I get the fitter at work to give it a thorough look over twice a year, and it goes on the rolling road every 3 months for a brake test, just for peace of mind. (Landrover drum brakes are a pain to set up and balance) Recently I have noticed a few bikes on here where people continue to use or carry on building dangerously defective bikes, and how many car drivers often get 2 or more tyres replaced as it's MOT time, obviously knowing they are unsafe, but with no MOT......
