Me too.... Do all me own stuff but MOT usually picks up on bearings and track rods that I would miss as most of my maintainance is on my own.
Hangover:
I presume that if this was to happen it would only start on vehicles newly registered after a certain future date,what's up with the present system anyway as most cars only get attention now at mot time and are we going to see armys of VOSA gestapo stopping and checking vehicles for roadworthyness.
If Brown wants to save motorists money why doesn't he reduce tax on fuel!!
More Labour (EDIT).

LOL yeah i suppose that is the way of looking at it!
Bunnie:
my pug goes for its first MOT in march and too me it makes sense to have them more regular than less because of the attitude people would take and again how would it not decrease roadworthyness other than costing you double every 2 years esp when it comes to things like brakes and other major but minor bits we might miss when checking the car over ourselves.
for instance ive been around enough cars to roughly get an idea when something is wrong but after only haveing heard screachin noises from me brakes for a week i had infact been very close to needing not only brake pads but new discs too...
routine maintance weather done by yourself or by a garage insures to keeping the cost to a minium by spreading things out.
If MOTS become every 2 yrs does that mean people will service there car more offten or just leave everything to the last min dispite possibly driving a very dangerous car for the best part of 6 months.
to me its deffinatly a strange one and i cant see how it wouldnt increase the number of unroadworthy vehicles and save anybody money.
