My 27-year-old car that I use every day has just failed the MoT test for a
second time.
It had a number of minor faults that needed attention, fair enough.
However, could I suggest that the MoT people, or some entrepreneur who wants
to make a lot of money, builds a garage specialising in MoT failures close
to my local centre.
A failed car like mine could then drive in, get fixed, drive back to be
checked, all in the shortest space of time. No fuss, no delay, job done,
profit made, everyone happy. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Perhaps I am not
living in the real world!
