The MOT was a success! Passed, with 2 advisories. One for having an engine cover fitted, and one for having an undertray fitted, despite them both being 10 mikes away from the car, next to my toolbox
It was a pretty uneventful drive back from the MOT, and equally so on the drive home (on trade plates)
A decat pipe has been ordered from the group buy, and fitted shortly. Needs the front PDC sorted still, and a bloody good clean

They must be blind, assuming they lifted the bonnet. Is this the place near Almondbank.
Time you got your own MOT testing station.
Ok I'll get off my soap box.

Have even left the undertrays and engine cover off so it can (hopefully) pass with no advisories

Am I being incredibly thick here......... careful how you answer that one, I still don't understand, why should an engine cover and sump tray end up as an advisory?Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Usually, an MOT tester will advise that engine covers and undertrays are fitted to cover themselves if they miss anything, and pass and advise on thatMy D3 Build Thread
