Title: MOT History check.
Post by: Omega_Dan on 11 November 2011, 22:36:20
Been having a look on the Direct gov website today. You can view your MOT history back to 2005! Interesting to see what any failures or advisories were as it gives an indication as to what work would have been done. Mine failed im 2007 on front track rod end and a broken rear coil spring. Other than that its just minor things. Got my MOT Monday hence the interest. ;D

Interesting history! Someone who owned mine really liked Halfords Autocentres.. ;D Who failed it once on front discs then immediately passed it again with just an advisory on the discs, back in 2006. Oh and it's had a worn/bald/cords showing(!) inner edge to the near side rear tyre every year..

Methinks there might be a camber problem on that side..

Been there, read the book, seen the film, got the postcard... I think an Omega that hasn't would be a rarity. ;D

It's also useful for checking whether the milage is genuine.  :y
