Today, for the 1st time in my 30yr driving life, I am putting my car through the 2nd MOT in my ownership! Seriously, I've never owned a car long enough to put it through one twice!
Looked at mileage last night and I have done under 800 miles in the last year lol  |

I've recently put my Audi through a second MOT. My wife says I'm keeping it.
Even though there are so many cars out there to try.

I'm the opposite - I've taken my (1970s) van to 11 MOT passes now.  Passed first time the last 9 years in a row too  |

My RRC is nearly due for the 12th MOT since I've owned it, longest I've held onto anything MOT'd (if you don't count my unroadworthy 1600E, 35 years)
I do almost 16k a year in it tho' so I don't mind if it throws a wobbly at MOT time

I have also never managed two. Here in Germany it is TüV and it's every two years. I put my S10 through in July 2016 so looks like I will make it to two this year!!

I used to change my cars more often (well almost) than my underwear, but I seem to have grown up a bit now, or maybe, just sampled everything I wanted to. The car that cured me was my old 64 Volvo 122S estate, which I owned from 1982-2011 and it underwent 27 MOTs whilst in my possession (it was off the road being restored for a couple of years) Even my Toledo is approaching it's 8th MOT since I built it!

I have never sold a car. Given them away, traded in or scrapped/written off.

I need to register mine (should have been the first week in January) and just hoping it'll pass the, "Get the pencil rubbing off the chassis and engine" test.
