I would have the same problem, don’t have the time to mess around sorting an MOT. So anything I am considering needs to have at least 6 months MOT on it to be an option.

If you work at a computer there's very minimal messing around involved with getting an MOT. Once you have one booked it takes minutes to look for a cancellation a couple of times a day. I've had absolutely no bother with MOTs in the last year - always managed to get one fairly local within the next day or two after checking for cancellations.
Can understand it's a pain in the hoop if you're something that doesn't require you to sit in front of a computer for periods of time.

It’s the time to take the car for the MOT, not the booking process.

Will be moving this on soon if my other car purchase goes to plan.
Car is in Scotland, Just South of Glasgow, approximately 2 hours from cairnryan. Can possibly pick up from airport or train station.
Saab 9-3 2.0T Aero Estate, MOT until December 2024
Good bits:
Manual
Ice cold air con
Bilstein B12 suspension kit (B8 dampers + Eibach Springs, 25mm lowered)
Full powerflex poly bush install
Abbot 3" stainless downpipe with sports cat
Maptun 2.5" stainless cat-back exhaust
Maptun/Sachs uprated clutch (approx 17000 miles old)
Stage 3 Noobtune (approx 270bhp)
Original 17" Saab wheels, rough, but with 4 recently new sumitomo tyres.
Recent disks/pads, including both nearside calipers replaced
Was Regularly serviced at Central Saab in Gorebridge and serviced by myself last 2 years including spark plugs and new metal T piece coolant pipe.
And common chain tensioner and guide replaced for preventative maintenance .
Bad bits:
Wheel arches, door bottoms all starting to suffer paint bubbling and hole in offside front arch
Driver's seat bolster "well used" compared to rest
Front centre air vent adjustment has gone 'loose'
Plastic engine cover broken.
In summary
Brilliantly mechanically and used daily with long trips once a month but bodywork wise is rough with rust and a few marks and dents.

1750 ish. Hard to see really not many about and all over the place. Like i said mechanically great. And handles well but the ride is hard with it being polyurethane bushed. The bodywork is like my weight loss effort, not great.Always fancied one of these
