Cars due back on road finally
 

Hi my cars due back on the road next month after a year and half sat on my drive. Just wondering what problems i should expect when it goes for its mot if any. It has been sat without brakes on so i expect these will of ceased but anything other than that it was only 3 month after its last mot that the engine went so cant be much more wear and tear.
cheers andy

probably just needs a good run out to free every thing up although as you say your main problem is likely sticking or siezed brakes, trouble is you can't tax it without the MOT so the only run it will get is to the test station, so you've 2 choices first do the usual basic checks ,lights, horn, wipers and washers then simply take it as it is and hope every thing else is OK, second choice is to have the wheels off strip and, clean and adjust the brakes I think this is the best option given it's been stood it will ensure everything is tip top regardless of the MOT, other that if not much as changed since the last MOT I can't see any reason it shouldn't pass no problem.

woohooo :luxhello:

You are allowed to drive to a pre-booked MOT, it doesn't state what route you have to take...

P.S. Good luck with the brakes...
