The time has come for my first MOT, I must have had the Octavia nearly 2 1/2 years.

 

I'm confident it'll pass, I've got new winter tyres on and new wiper blades, no issues with the car so far, in fact I love it. 

 

But never the less fingers crossed ...

I got one advisory on my first MOT. Front tyres close to legal limit. This irritated me and the car was in for a service and 2 tyres at the same time. But they did the MOT first.

It would have irritated you more if you'd got a fail because brand new tyres still had mould agents on them so the brakes didn't work right.

Damn it, everyone hates a smart arse!! 😁

 

It passed, no advisories. I had a walk down the road to Lightcliffe Skoda while it was in the garage, had a look at the new octavia Vrs and a large 4x4 Kodiac. Both looked absolutely superb. The salesman tried to show me the VRS and said the boot was a bit smaller than mine, but he couldn't show me because the showroom vehicle - a hybrid - was flat, and was locked up. Doors were open - the inside was lovely but I would like to see a heated front screen and front seats too for that kind of cash.

Only tip I have is make sure the engine is fully upto temp before you take it in. Also a few harder stops to get some heat into the disc and pads helps.
