New MOT Certificates
« on: October 21, 2011, 01:28:18 pm »
Just had the Wifes Mini Mot'd and the new Certificate is Naff. So Easy to copy/forge and its printed on plain A4 paper ! A step back i think. Any other views?

Where your vehicle is tested on or after the 16 October 2011 you will receive a new style of MOT certificate. This will be printed on plain paper in a landscape format instead of a pre-printed coloured form. Changes to the certificates are part of an ongoing drive to reduce costs and wastage.

I think that given more and more things are going online, I wonder whether the print out is more of a cursory thing. Agree - can be forged for when/buying selling cars but you can always do an online check.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Exactly right. You might be able top forge  the paperwork, but they check using registration plates on their online database, so you would have to forge/hack that as well

I only found out not so long ago that MOT's are only good for one day, the day that you get the MOT done.  :stupid:
