It is horrible there, simply towers of concrete and multi-lane highways, and SOOO expensive. Been there several times as my sons are musos there. Horrible place.
I do not want/need all that tested as I know that my vehicle is road-worthy.
I am simply saying that the 'MOT' test is a load of bo44ox, which is why there are so many dangerous vehicles on the road.
Took my Vigo for test last Monday. Headlights, exhaust, VIN number, brakes (at 15 kph) was all which was tested.
NOTHING for winkers, wipers, washers, tyres, etc. They still charged me Bht 200. 555
And come on, tell us that diesel is 2 quid a litre in UK, and Bht 35.87 here. And that you can get a 'companion' for the night for Bht 1000 instead of £1000!
Do all owners/renter not pay into a Fund to pay for the Maintenance and costs you mention, which should be the same for each living unit whether a person is there 2 months or 12 months. Going on the electricity usage, the short timer pays much less into that Fund, or someone who has AC on 24-7.
