Alize Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It's the first mot with me for my Zed sooo...Just wondering if it's worth taking to Horsham developments which is not far from me for mot rather than a local place which might not know how to treat her!😱 Thanks folk😎 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Mine is due on Thursday, so I'm taking it to Hi Tec Motors, just down the road from me. Don't think you need to take it to a specialist, I just tell them not to use the rollers for a brake test.

Ekona Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nah, I'd take it anywhere that'll do it. I've known specialists to be real sticklers, and I've known regular garages to turn a blind eye to the small things, so it's hit or miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew I'd read something on here about what not to do in a Zed mot just couldn't remember what it was!

Alize Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys I do have a good relationship with a local place they used to do my X Trail yep that was my last motor for 9 years! That's why I'm lovin the zed back in a real motor 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I used my local but did do a familiarisation visit before hand - they even did a few jobs - oil change/spark plugs and grounding kit fitted - all materials supplied plus guides off the forum. No probs at all - they quite enjoyed having the car in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It's pretty much all computerized nowadays so anything vehicle specific flashes up on screen for the tester anyway (including the brake test), no need for a specialist to do an MOT. Why is this? Because of the LSD. It's well documented on the forum if you search for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Any monkey can MOT a zed, its just a car, has 4 wheels and an engine, no need for specialists, just find the cheapest MOT around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillywig2 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I used Halfords last month as they're only charging £29. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comrade Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Council MOT centers are a good alternative. They might not be the most knowledgeable about zeds, but they have exactly zero incentive to fail you because they don't do repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35oz's Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Tried one of the council places near me once, on my return I was handed my rear number plate?? Apparently they couldn't open the boot so they thought the button might be behind the rear number plate so they pulled it off!! But as said they have no incentive to fail your car so always a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 If you have an aftermarket exhaust a local garage that you know is often better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
