 To M.O.T. Or Not To M.O.T.? That Is The Question - Duncan
I own a Morris Minor convertible. It was registered in early 1960.

Recent government legislation has allowed cars built before 1960 to be exempt M.O.T.s. I have enquired and it seems my car was built before 1960, so, now all I have to do is to send the proof off to the DVLA and my car will be exempt from M.O.T.

The question is should I? Is it better to have a safety check once a year, so that I know a professional engineer has examined the car and has decreed that it is safe to be on the road?

Or shall I keep an eye on it myself, particularly brakes, steering and suspension and have any remedial work carried out as and when necessary?
