Took the '56 today for its MoT and passed with advisories on l/h front brake not pulling its weight (this I knew about) probably due to lack of use - it soon corrects itself when applied hard. And slight weep on rear brake drum (this I wasn't aware of).

Re: Passed her 11 plus
I was going to ask the same Q as BMC, is your MOT for your peace of mind as I thought that you pre 1960 owners did not have to worry about the yearly test any longer.

Yes peace of mind - I'll continue to get it done for safety reasons and cover myself should - hopefully never- an accident occur.

Re: Passed her 11 plus
Did you get a printout of the brake test?
I'd be interested, The front axle brakes need to be balanced within 25% left to right so that should possibly have been a fail on front brakes out of balance.
Also ANY brake fluid leak detected is a FAIL instantly. Moggies are a SINGLE line brake system it's very INPORTANT not to have ANY leaks anyway.

Re: Passed her 11 plus
A very good reason why this MOT exemption is a bad idea, and nice to hear of someone doing it 'right' ie: having a voluntary test and being notified of a slight brake imbalance and a leak on rear drum (which could well be axle rather than brake fluid) both of which would be easliy missed if not on a ramp or brake tester.
cheers

Re: Passed her 11 plus
I always ask if there was anything marginal, next year it might not make the grade.

Re: Passed her 11 plus
That's fair enough, that option is open to you but the mot apparently only applies at the time so covering yourself may be in doubt. I too, hope you never need to!JOWETTJAVELIN wrote:Yes peace of mind - I'll continue to get it done for safety reasons and cover myself should - hopefully never- an accident occur.
