skinz Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Great every old banger with a engine will be allowed on the road as long as its befor 1960. And probably more roadworthy than the banger you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 In my opinion, bad idea. For the sake of £35 a year you would know your vehicle is roadworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 that's fine... so long as they only use them on private land mind you, a car can fail at any point in its lifetime, so maybe ALL MOTs should be replaced by frequent ad hoc inspections, and your car had better damned well pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Personally I'm against it I will still take my old cars for MOT I have rebuilt them and Know every nut and bolt on them but there is always something that you could miss,a second opinion is always best,there will be some prat who will take something on the road and course an accident and it will put the car-bosh on all of us classic car owners,I just can not see the insurance company's wanting to insure them or the cost of insurance will go up a lot on our old cars,I can see some of them saying no MOT no insurance bad idea I think.

You will be surprised how many classic cars there are in Sheffield and surrounding areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I can't see an insurance company willingly insuring a vehicle of that age without it being checked and given a clean bill of health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullerboY Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 They were rot boxes then and are still rot boxes now yes keep on testing.I starting testing these cars in 1960 and sent many to their graves and kept Mr Cooper in scrap and well deserved the old cars were rubbish.
