    ........ a new record for me.....1036 miles between MOT's
    With me being made redundant tail end of last year, and being out of work for nearly 5 months, Mutley stayed tucked up in the garage only being started up now and again to keep the battery charged.
    Note to self.......attend more runs

    Yup I'm well & truly 'licked' here, but then again you do need to get out 'just a little'

    I reckon I've done 2500 miles since last years MOT

    The biggest 'hit' was MINI 50 , I was never gonna miss that one

    Neighbours car did 6 this year and 6 last year and yes you guessed it, its three miles to the MOT garage….Fully taxed and M.o.t and insured and sits there. it even has a private plate.

    Likes the idea of having a car just not that keen on driving.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    What you guys like, I have 10 months ownership and 11K so far, IMO a nice car is for driving. However like you say gordy circumstances have dictated your mileage so cannot be helped.

    Sold the Calibra last year as it had done a total of about 300 miles in 5 years of ownership. It was taxed and tested every year as well.

    Aye but you drive too and from Arran to Aberdeen every fortnight
    The A4 gets most of the mileage.....7 years old and 132,500 on it now Can't complain as its never really missed a beat in the time I've had it
