What is MOT’d
I’m guessing this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test
Oh yep, in Australia we colloquially call it "the pits" as in "Gotta take the car to the pits" but I'd say the more universal term would be checking the vehicle's roadworthiness, or taking it for a roadworthy.
We call it getting it “smogged” in Los Angeles as the concern is cutting emissions to reduce smog; though many of the requirements are naturally related to road worthiness too.
Bunch of states have the same as MOT, called “inspection”.
Yep of course! I’m just not familiar with other states’ terminology.
This sounds more like your car is end-of-life and gets thrown into a big hole in the ground filled with lava. "We got to make a sacrifice to please the car god!"
In New Zealand, it's a WOF (warrant of fitness)
Message Of The’Day
Nah, it’s a vehicle safety inspection all cars over a certain age must go through in the UK before they’re legally allowed to be on the road.
