    2018 MOT - New rules

    It has only recently been brought to my attention that many new rules are going to be applied to classic and modified cars from May of this year.
    Can anyone in the know explain the implications of these, especially to highly modified vehicles?

      MOT rule changes: 20 May 2018

      The MOT test changed on 20 May 2018, with new defect types, stricter rules for diesel car emissions, and some vehicles over 40 years old becoming exempt.


      Can't see anything to worry about to be honest

          Apparently retro fit HID lights will fail. I have a HID kit on my Avant so don't think it will pass

              They have always been a failure unless there is an auto alignment / leveling function fitted.

                  It has been always illegal to use HID kits on halogen lights.
