MOT PASS !!
With the new V5c landing yesterday, my plan was to only MOT the Blazer in the New Year.
For the American readers, and MOT test is a yearly full mechanical and electrical inspection on all cars over 3 years old, up to 40years old.
You cannot get insurance or road tax without the MOT test.
They are very thorough.
Then I woke up this morning and after a lengthy video chat with Dennis who was awake again, I decided to call the MOT station I have been using the last 10 years to see if they could test the Blazer today. No luck, it’s too big for their lift.
But I could call their other shop up the street, they said 10.15 was open.
So a quick shuffle of cars and I was off to the test station.
Stopped for gas, because I like to take pics at gas stations of the truck gathering fossil fuel.
A full inspection ensued, I felt like an expectant father at a maternity unit.
Every part was checked, even the individual safety belts on the rear bench seat.
Inspector said it was solid underneath and complimented the rust repairs, nice.
Brakes tested from inside the cab, rollers are pretty unforgiving.
