Having seen how little maintenance and how clueless some people are about theirs cars I am pretty happy we have an MoT test.

I certainly agree, sometimes it is a right royal pain, but worth it in the end

Another reason that the Contrôle Technique (CT) is better than a UK MOT is that they are performed by independent CT centres not the garage servicing your car. They have no hidden agenda of finding faults that they can then charge to fix.

Another nice touch with the CT is that if it fails on a défaillance critique you can’t drive after midnight the day of the CT of its défaillance majeure you are given a CT valid for two months & it's possible to have repeated two month CTs.

I think an annual test is a very good idea. I live in France & need a CT every two years so every other year & get an MOT while I am in the UK. I think that it's worth the modest cost to have an independent eye run over the car particular underneath.

They have given me a 3 month sticker.
Oops, I should have looked at the dates, it's December to February but actually only 2 months
