For anyone interested, here is a list of what every car, three years old or older, have to go through every year, at their annual Ministry of Transport test (MOT).
It is the most stressful part of motoring in the UK. For an old car a fresh MOT can add £300 on to the value. Short MOT £100, new MOT £400.
