MOT test is a Ministry Of Transportation vehicle safety and emissions test. It
is compulsory - you get a new licence/insurance without it. It also ensures that
rusted cars get quick bodged repairs or get scrapped which can be a good thing
depending on your viewpoint.

Daniel- I was reading a Mini World magazine and was wondering what the
"MOT" is. Seems to be a tax with some expiration date? Or is it what we in
the U.S. call a "registration"?
