Literally, how basic can a car be?
Do you need doors? Boot? Windscreen?
I remember ages ago talking to a mechanic & he was saying at the place where you take MOT examiner tests they have a cra with no headlights, windscreen wipers, windscreen...and it was legal. It's just a case of if the car has it, it must work
Thoughts? Any funny examples?

I think you're probably best off asking a place locally that you could take it to.
Seems to me that almost every MOT station has different takes on the regs. You just need to find someone who doesn't give a shit about what they pass

They can be very basic, but must pass an sva test, think the bare minimum for a daytime mot is rear brake lights and a fog light, don't need indicators as you can use hand signals, but if a car was origionally fitted with lights indicators they have to work, but if this car has the lights fitted already but you only want a daytime mot the lights have to be covered to show its a daytime one.

Why not get an "MOT" if it's just a technicality for the scrappage scheme.
ie. bolt a few bits on then pay somebody to "look the car over" in return for some cash and you get an MOT certificate?
