I don’t have my car MOT’d annually either, primarily because there isn’t a single MOT test centre within a reasonable distance of me that I’d trust with a car of this age. The nearest garage I trust enough to let near it is thirty miles away and it isn’t a test centre.

I’m confident it would pass an annual test but I don’t trust the garages. The garage I use for my modern car, which I do trust, said they wouldn’t touch my Minor as the young mechanics wouldn’t have a clue about them.
That is a pretty good summary of the official reasons why the exemption was put in place by the government/DfT. :tu1:

Who is the Footman James contact on here, I think I would like to 'pm' them and ask them the question about agreed value.
Best wishes,
