M.O. T. Time.. having been given the information by VOSA that the truck would be tested as a class 4 vehicle if presented as a motorcaravan I duly phoned a garage near Launceston called taylors moor view garage, having been advised by a friend they were helpful etc. I asked if they could accommodate a 12ft high vehicle they replied yes.

I arrived at the garage 45mins early and it all went downhill from there!  They looked at the truck and looked at their door and said it might fit? Along came mot time and it wouldn’t fit…… Then a suggestion that I could let tires down it might fit, this took me 25 minutes (without any assistance from helpful garage staff) it still wouldn’t fit, out came their tape measure the doorway was 11ft 9inches. No apologies were offered and with no assistance from helpful staff I re-inflated the tires from the trucks own compressor this took a further 25 minutes.

So back to the drawing board……

Plymouth City bus. Was suggested by another source,  so I phoned and booked an mot  for the following week.

What a helpful company and a pleasant experience, offered a coffee when I arrived and friendly staff who knew their job, an hour later a year’s class 4 mot was issued and I drove back a happy man.
