Reply To: Dangers of MOT extension all too evident, IAAF says

[D spriggs]

We had Vauxhall meriva which was in the extended mot time, but the owner wanted it to have mot. The front brake lines were rotted and leaking the front sub frame around the steering rack mountings were very badly rotted his wife is nurse, they were shocked how bad the car was and we’re pleased that we found the faults and rectified them, his words were we could have been killed,we have no work and have closed as I have wife with cancer and I can’t or told not to work my staff would like to work but if they do you can’t get furlough if they work I don’t think there is enough work to make the wages, I’m at catch 22 I feel it’s ridiculous to extend 6 months mot it feels like we are the only trade that has 6 months penalty on our trade,they were also working to the distance rules and cleaning with bacterial cleaners I feel very worried about the future of company due to the loss of so much earnings, knowing that even when we open there is 5 to 6 months, hope everyone is well lots in same boat I’m going stirr crazy not being able to work
