Took my Plus for MOT this morning and yet another first-time pass (even with a very picky tester) - that makes 5 Coupé MOT's passed first time and hence I can proudly say I've never had a Coupé fail an MOT That's two on my previous 20VT, one on my GF's VIS (which is due again shortly so it might soon be 6 times) and now two on my Plus.

Not bad at all for 10 year old cars - I do my bit maintenance wise of course but still, pretty impressive. The tester today was amazed when I said I used the car for work every day; he was convinced it's a "garage queen"

jas_racing am i correct in thinking that your Coop is the most immaculate Coop on the forum?

You or the car?

Mine has also passed 5 in a row, and only one advisory in 5 for rear brakes

I had this motor park next to mine at Brooklands and I suddenly felt the need to make mine look at least half respectable!

Very smart Coupe and you'd be hard pushed to find one in better condition.

Well it's not bad - probably one of the best "daily drivers" on the forum but not ultimately THE best I'd say (not having a garage doesn't help!). Having seen them in the flesh Trev M's & MrC's are as good externally but WAY better under-bonnet, plus I'm sure there's others I haven't seen that better mine. Possibly my unusual factory colour makes people notice it more?!

Still on original paint (apart from the bumpers) so needs stone-chips sorting on the bonnet plus the wheels need a refurb to remove a couple of scuffs (not done in my ownership!) and put them back to immaculate condition inside and out.

Oh, and cheers for nice comment Insy!
