A friend of mine with a Ford Capri found a thread on Capri Power forum about new MOT regulations coming into effect April 2012.
Before I go any further I have not researched this at all yet so I may just be passing on an unfounded rumor although here is link to the AA site
MOT changes from 2012 | AA
The major item of worry for some on here would be the HID headlight requirements. All HID systems must have working washers and leveling systems including aftermarket systems.
Apparently absence of these systems will result in an advisory in the first yer but a failure after that.
Also drivers seat must be possible to secure in 2 or 3 positions.
Please don't shot the messenger for either content or if this has been raised before (been off the site for a while, lack of enthusiasm for the car but that has been remedied and all systems are go again!!!)
