Something that might be of interest to the odd person on here, but the MOT regulations are changing on 20 May.
They will include stricter checks on... "Three other areas on cars that have the potential to cause serious accidents are also going to be scrutinised more closely than before. Testers will check steering systems – a steering box with a heavy leak will result in a MOT failure, as will reversing lights that don't work or have blown bulbs and brake discs that are “significantly or obviously wornâ€."

Now a lot of this is in the opinion of the tester, and obviously nobody here would want to run around with a dangerous car, but if you had been waiting 18 months for a set of front discs then you might want to have a look when your MOT is due in case you needed a bit of breathing space.
