MoT passed
When we bought the RV in December 2006, it came with a full year's MoT. We used it during 2007 then put it off the road when we put our property on the market, and then lived in it for 8 months last year until December when we moved in to the new place.
So - today, I drove it again for the first time for a very long time, and boy, did it feel good.
. Carried out basic pre-test checks last weekend, put some wind in the tyres, check fluid levels, and drove a 60-mile round trip to Newark (no, not THAT place..) for the MoT. Passed without a murmur. 8)
I can thoroughly recommend Alistair Christie garage service, Brunel Drive, Newark 01636 640302. They can take any size of vehicle as they have a humougous inspection pit, and they did mine while I waited.
The garage literally backs onto "that" dealer's site. So, for those of you who get wound up even at the sound of their name, you can shove your heads through the railings, and stick your tongues out to your hearts' content.

Ask for Rob Budd (don't say, "How's it going, Budd?" 'cos he doesn't like that
which of course is why I do it) & mention my name. Rob's been there for many years and knows a thing or two, but is sensible.Dougie.
They're not interested in the weight (why would they be?)*. Re. the brake tester, all I can say is that they're a fully-working MoT testing station who issue MoTs, so presumably what they've got complies with what it needs to.loddy said:

*See my qualifying post below - this one ain't worded well.
Aye, aye.moblee said:
I think that even at top whack (£54), having a qualified motor engineer check my RV over thoroughly including a brake test once a year, is money well spent.Dougie.
Well indeed, and I quite understand that, but I was asking why I would need to take a weighbridge certificate to the MoT testing station when all they're required to use is the relevant weight on the VIN plate.Kev_n_Liz said:
