InsigDriv3 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Today marked the first MOT since acquiring my GrandSport; I can hardly believe I have owned it for over a year. This morning, I delivered it to my local garage en route to work. With a mind full of possible car issues, I received a call from the garage shortly after 10. With a sense of impending dread, I answered and posed the familiar inquiry, "What is the damage, then?" Merely to be informed..... 'Nothing, my friend; she has passed the MOT without any failures or advisories.' This is unprecedented, as I typically discover that a second-hand vehicle invariably has issues that are not classified as 'official advisories' but remain unaddressed due to my lack of awareness. Since it was scheduled for a 'small service and MOT', I requested that they perform the 'major 2-year' service instead. A slight indulgence, wouldn't you agree?.....I intend to consider this clean MOT as the first year, if you comprehend my meaning. She is currently parked outside, prepared for our forthcoming journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspirli Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 It is always reassuring to receive a clean bill of health. I hope these Insignia Bs do not present numerous issues as they age. My vehicle is now seven years old and has yet to receive an advisory, let alone a failure. I recently conducted a major service using as many Vauxhall components as possible.

Lovelyas Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 That is a well-maintained vehicle; I received one advisory this year regarding corrosion on the subframe. The garage was cleaned and repainted. That is all for now. I am perpetually apprehensive about my electrical system malfunctioning during the MOT inspection. I saw that my driveshafts appear somewhat rusty and are exhibiting flaking when I inspected them over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerse Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 The MOT day consistently induces anxiety, particularly for me at the past occurrence, when I received a bill above £1,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastervest Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I consistently anticipate with trepidation the phone call informing me that it is ready. You believe this call may be the costliest I receive this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordSnoop Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 We anticipate nothing less, InsigDriv3. The vehicle is a testament to your efforts, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappaZeek Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Indeed, I consistently receive the "it has failed" notification, and when they begin enumerating the costs, it resembles the national debt of a minor nation in the Far East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsigDriv3 Posted November 25 Author Share Posted November 25 I have experienced that several times throughout my car ownership, my friend; one feels a tightening in the abdomen and an acceleration of the heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
