Well worth having it done as a colleague told me about a woman who was involved in a collision, her MoT test had been granted the extension, but her insurers refused to payout.

They could not do this because it had an mot extension........maybe if they found a defect that had a contributory effect and she had not followed the recommended maintenance schedule for her vehicle which would have revealed it.

And regardless of this they have to pay any third party claim.

TLDR=usually urban myth!

Dunno mate, it wouldn't surprise me though if they wanted an excuse not to pay out.

They can always refuse if pre-accident the vehicle wasn't kept roadworthy.

Put a new secondhand stereo in the Saab 9000 this evening.
a. I did not get into a temper.
b. Knock me over it bloody well works.
c. It had a copy of 'Ibiza club anthems' left in it.
d. CDs may be recyclable.

Haha I bought a Honda Civic last year, in it was some awful Indian kind of music. I gave it to my 6 year old as a joke but he really liked it and kept playing it at home. Ibiza anthems would have been preferable.

No idea. I'm baffled by music categories. I bought various grunge and metal albums years ago but it's all turned into classic rock now
