Finally got the new MOT on my 20vt today.

Two advisories.
1) Front tyres worn close to the legal limit
2) Front brakes showing signs of aggressive driving.


Aggressive driving? In my track car? I should coco laugh

What the chuff has that got to do with the MoT?!?
Maybe Front Brakes becoming worn but surely that comment is unnecessary (if not a little hilarious)

It's arse covering syndrome just in case an inspector calls, thats all.

I had an advisory on my 18000 mile Grande Punto on its first MOT that the front tyres had only 3-4 mm tread left.

This from the same MOT tester who a couple of years previously failed to notice that the number plate lights on my Coupe were not even connected, but still passed the car.


16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

They are DBA2160 discs, been on the car for nearly 10k now, horizontal cracks are nothing to be worried about. As for hooligan, well I'm working on it, and thanks thumb

I think it's also reflection on the hard wearing of Pagid yellow pads, that the discs take a bit more of the wearing.
