General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

They should definitely be tested once a year. Having owned two cars that aged with me it was vital that I kept them roadworthy as I loved them both, and hated having to buy newer cars when the time came. The two in question reached the grand old age of 18 years each and I rarely had a problem with either of them.

I've always had my garage fix any problems that I have had as I'm not qualified to carry out repairs and my present car which I bought two years ago was tested last month, with a blown number plate bulb which I mentioned to them. I wasn't charged for a replacement and the car passed the MoT.

Something I've always done though is, despite the MoT, I have my garage do a winter check for me to make sure it's fit for cold weather - anti-freeze, etc.

When I say "my" garage, it's actually the garage that has been servicing our company vehicles for many years and they are 100% trustworthy. I wouldn't have any other.
