MOT - Sailed Through!

Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:22 pm

I have never owned a car that passed its MOT first time but my E30 has just done me proud by passing!

am still in a state of shock that the cheapest, oldest car i have ever owned has done it! what a car!

You have obviously never owned an E30 before. I would expect no other.
I've only ever had one E30 fail an MOT test, and that was as a result of some very strange and odd looking damage to both front brake hoses. Exactly the kind of marks a spot weld bit would make!

110k 318i lux cab, dubious service history bought off ebay 3 months ago

havent had a e30 before, have loved the last 3 months of motoring (although i dont drive it that much) - did have an e36 years ago but wasnt overly impressed and soon got rid

think the clutch needs replacing and it'll need some new tyres but to be honest, comparing MOT certs today, its done a shade under 2k miles this year and i'll probably not do more than that in the next year..

Mine did the same last month. 134k on the clock. Seven owners. Not even one single advisory

Great feeling ain't it?
