IT WENT THROUGH!

After all that cutting, welding, grinding, painting, engine swap, brake rebuild, new suspension, new full tank, rewiring, and overall agony, the Touring flew through its Polish MOT with no advisories.

Ultra-chuffed :D

Good news mate :)

How does the Polish MOT compare to the UK one? Similar or more/less stringent?

On paper it's just as strict, although the testers will turn a blind eye to most things. But all places have those automatic brake, suspension and steering testers, and if you fail on that you're screwed.

Also helps if you pull the old Hugh Grant routine: "oh errr well umm ahh, I, errr, oof, trouble with the language you see, oh, hmm, well, oh bloody hell..."

Congrats. It's always a relief when the old bus passes.

At a guess,the Polish MoT is about as good as the Polish HGV driver's test!
