Is there a fine now if you forget to re-new your MOT before it runs out?

How badly does a backbox need to be blowing to make it fail? mines fairly bad

Also if you have fog lights do they both need to work?

No, hadn't got a clue It was serviced in April, so i probably just didn't get round to MOT'ing it.

Not sure on the exhaust

I would say that you need both foglights working to pass it though?

I know! One side had a nut and bolt, but had come lose. The other side only had a bolt and no nut Easy fix luckily.

I dont think the list is too bad for an 11 year old car,only little silly things. So glad there was no cv boots or ball joints etc. Cant stand doing stuff like that
