Biennial MOT tests

Lost ones oil filler cap?
Then no worries, just replace it with a temporary fuel cap instead, and whilst you're at it, make sure it leaks like hell and is also fouling the cam gear, just like this..

but it keeps the belt lubricated

but it keeps the belt lubricated

And everything else it leaked onto, including me.
Sadly not enough to fail it though, despite how dumb of an idea it was.

Here in Ireland, cars are due an NCT (our MOT equivalent) when they turn 4 years old and are done every 2 years then until the car is 10 years old and it's then annually. The biggest downside to the NCT here is it's a government contract awarded to Applus and can only be completed at their test centres where, the last time I had to book one, there were no tests for ~6 months. I did eventually get one sooner, but if it was similar to the UK system of mechanics/Halfords etc being able to do them there'd likely be much fewer delays.

so basically bi-annual MOT
