MOT Pass

Am now street legal and £80 light of pocket (Inc MOT fees).

Here are a few new MOT regs that came in this year.

1. Number plates:- Have to be square with letters and numbers of equal dimension and spacing, in two rows. Letterbox number plates will result in a fail. There is no size stipulation for the plate, just that it is square. The letters and numbers on the plate must be of equal thickness.

2. Frame numbers are now also part of the test. It is a requirement that the tester checks both the frame number and vehicle identification (VIN)

3. Fuel system:- detailed check for any sign of fuel leakage or patched up work on the fuel delivery system. Any bodging = fail.

and finally a little snippet about exhausts.

The exhaust system must be complete, secure and not too noisy (and that is for the tester to interpret). The exhaust must not have any markings like "Not for road use" or "Trackday use only". However, if such markings were to be accidentally covered by a sticker then the tester is not allowed to remove said sticker. They are not allowed to alter the bike in ANY WAY whilst conducting the test.
