Just had M.O.T

[csljoe]

Hi guys

just thought i'd let you know how i got on, despite only having the csl for a few months it was already due for an m.o.t. so i took it to sytners at leicester, as that is my local garage and is also where i bought it. so it was booked in at 10:15, they didnt start the m.o.t until 10:45, they finished the m.o.t at around 11:10 and the csl sat there in the garage for a further 50 minutes, then a lady comes over to tell me that everything is ok apart from my plates( i forgot to change them), would i like to buy some so they can change them, so i said yes or else it wouldnt pass, so she went off, and then i quickly went over to the desk to ask how they were going to fit the plates, as i didnt want my front bumper drilling, she looked at me suprised, as i told them to just stick them on, im sure if i hadnt of said anything they would of drilled the bumper :banghead: and to make things worse instead of using a bit of double sided tape, they covered the whole plates in it :moan: . anyway that my moan over with lol, so after 2 hours and 84 quid lighter it has passed.

How does everyone else get on?

Mine also needed an MOT about 2 months after I bought it. It almost failed on emissions until the guy asked me to give a real good thrash after which it passed just fine. Phew!

I'm assming poeple are claiming against their Approved Used or Extended warranties for any major components needed due to a failed MOT ?

[AlexGTT]

CSLJOE, if you bought the car from a dealer a few months ago shouldn't it have been supplied with a new 12 month MOT at the time of purchase? Thought all AUC cars had that, plus rectification of any MOT failure 12 months after?

[Rags]

To obtain the rectification, does one need to have the MOT carried out at a BMW dealer?

No if it fails on a track rod end for instance take it to bmw with the fail sheet
and it should get sorted under the warranty :thumbs:
