MOT Madness

Here's something that may be news to you! My Renaultsport Clio V6 255 failed it's MOT yesterday and I'll give you a second to think of a reason that a beautifully prepared low mileage car such as this would be refused a certificate?

OK, here's why... The car registration plates did not have the suppliers postcode printed on them!

So, an hour later, clasping my Passport, Driving Licence, a utility bill and the car's V5 Certificate I organised some replacements and managed to obtain the new MOT.

Seems that any car registered after September 2001 has to have the correct number plate configuration as well as the suppliers postcode. So now you know - don't get caught out!

Here's a picture of the Blue Meanie! And here's my old V6 255.
