Went for the yearly parting of cash today. VOSA call it the MOT test. But hey, problems! (Not with the truck, it flew through).
The problem is getting the new MOT registered on the official web site. My garage says that once again today, the system is 'down'. They have only had four days full working in the last three weeks. That means you have to carry around a temporary certificate issued in ink from your garage, in case your stopped by the police. It goes further then that, as the police database goes down with the system, so they cant check who has or has not a current certificate.
"Pop back next week, and if it's back up, we can give you the official pass notification" said the garage.
Great.
