Today was the day for the Ministry of Transport inspection.

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.

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.

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.

The MOT day consistently induces anxiety, particularly for me at the past occurrence, when I received a bill above £1,000.

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.

It is gratifying when a vehicle passes its MOT without any advisories.an additional 12 months of enjoyable driving

[WordSnoop]

We anticipate nothing less, InsigDriv3. The vehicle is a testament to your efforts, my friend.

[ZappaZeek]

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.

[InsigDriv3]

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.
