Depends where you live and drive I suppose. If your not up any wee side roads you wouldn't have the same muck.I am more than able to do all of that except washing under the car. I wouldnt expect anyone to scrape through muck and cow ***** to check brake lines or joint seals but seems im in a minority on that one
Whats going on with MOT Availability at the moment?

No choice, i work in the middle of nowhere with farmyards everywhere. Dung and muck on the road all the time
I'm the same my car gets bogging no matter what especially this time of year. I do think they would turn my car away the state of it underneath even after a few weeks in winter.

Mine's still showing January 18th even after I've put a year's tax on it. We get the keys to our house January 15th so I'll just put it in the garage ASAP and worry about it in April or so.

Had mine today with no issues, 4 year old car.
Test centre was dead, took myself off for a walk for 25 mins and came back to a pass.

Mines due late January. I've had tec's issued twice on it so far. It says don't book a test if vehicle is over 5 years old which it is...
Then it says if tec was issued due to fault in lifts (which mine was) it can only be for a period of up to 12 months then it must be tested...
Confused. I've had no reminder letter as yet.

seems to be totally random when the extensions are going on, my civics due on the 17th of feb and still no extension. I'm assuming as yours is now the 21st of august is was the 21st of feb?

You think they would've have had enough time to repair/replace the lifts already.
I got one for the jazz in Boucher for the end of January, but there was plenty of dates. Last owner had it booked before I bought it, I just rescheduled his appointment to suit myself, but that shouldn't matter

Maybe you missed that covid thing going on ?
And still 18th Jan here...no change.

Yea, but that wasn't the reason for the mots to be stopped. It has actually gave them an opportunity to use the time to repair or replace whats needed.

Not really on topic but I got one this morning in Coleraine first thing 08:05. It should have been a retest but the holiday period ate up the 21 days so full test it was.
But no, she wouldn’t start again, in Lane 3 with nobody about. Examiner came out @08:10 & told me what I was expecting to hear - they don’t keep booster/jump packs & aren’t authorised to give me a bump start. I had knee surgery on Christmas Eve so couldn’t even push it clear myself so locked it & started walking towards the gate when I few other boys in blue reluctantly emerged from the world’s biggest oven & bumped me in reverse.
Thanks lads, I appreciate it’s difficult on the first day back in a civil service job.
20mins later I was back with a new battery & was accepted for the full test 30 days/25miles after the previous failure.

Not initially..but it was certainly a reason to stop or slow processes thereafter, as well as interfering with any supply/replacements of the lifts. And it will still be interfering with processes now.
