MOT with dodgy clutch
Am due to get my MY99 UK Scoob MOT'd in a couple of weeks and have recently started getting clutch slip in 4th and 5th.
Won't really have time to get it replaced before the MOT so my question is will the car pass with a clutch in this condition?

As far as i am aware the clutch shouldnt affect the MOT. The MOT is for safety stuff only. Im not sure about what was said about the brake test though i suppose there is a point there. If the clutch is only slipping slightly though and the car stops from 50MPH then it should be OK. there used to be a section on the MOT for general road worthness. It could fail that cause its at risk of becoming an obsticle ie stopped in the middle of the road.

Clutch wont cause a problem, the brakes are tested on motorised rollers... There is no need to drive the car other than manovering it onto the ramps and rollers.

Depends on the tester to be honest M8. Like i said there was/is a section for the tester to fill in for "general road worthyness". Some might fail it on this for a cracked bumper, others not. Get it tested and see is the best i can say.
