Speak to a mapper guys , if you're booked in for an mot , I can't see why you couldn't arrange to have you're mapping done on en route

Don't forget if you're booked in for an mot test you can drive there without tax or mot ( still need insurance )
So if youre going directly there ( wink wink ) you are allowed to drive

Done this several times..
Car doesnt need to be fully mapped for mot.. set base map up so car runs on drive, set cruise up and cold running as it warms up etc on drive to mot..
complete mot and then complete mapping or finish mapping another day etc.

Like Simon ( jgm ) says maybe finish the map after the mot
Maybe get a transporter or trailer and take it to youre nearest rr and see how much p***ing about and cost effective that is ?
