Yes, very comprehensive, virtually everything from windscreen wipers, seatbelts and lights to brakes, suspension and tyres, even a failed bulb can cause a re-test.

Time for some gravity.

That profile makes me think of the Blitzspear from Nemesis The Warlock.
The Anaconda looks quite handsome there.
I haven't played that one. Yeah, the paint is fresh and seems to hold up better than before, I was disappointed that super cruise assist doesn't work with the SCO, maybe Fdev can bring us that down the road.
It isn't game, It a 2000AD character. Probably most familiar to Brits.
I didn't realise supercruise assist doesn't work with SCO. I stopped using it early on because crashing into stuff at aleast gave me something to do beyond the grind.
I have that Anaconda paintjob though. I'm tempted to buy one now and pretend I'm a Blitzspear.
Oh, sorry, I reckon so about it being unique to the UK market.
Yeah, they are. Most custom built cars from the US would struggle to get past this test.
It is a gasoline engine. But the engine isn't the main problem. A lot of the suspension parts are rotting away after 21 years. The car being this old also means that replacement parts are very hard to come by. And as this car wasn't really popular with tuners, there's not much on aftermarket parts available that would be worth the money.
This is not my actual car, but that's how it looks like:

Mine has a slightly more boring silvery grey color, though.
Time to get a Vespa with heated seat and hand grips.
In the UK testing starts at 3 years and covers almost everything but engine clutch and gearbox.
Easy mistake to make. I humbly accept your humble apology.
Well, that would work if it was just me that relies on this car.Time to get a Vespa with heated seat and hand grips.
That's quite similar to what we have to face, though our cars have to pass an exhaust emissions test at the same time. So the engine gets tested, too.
I don't want to demean your situation, I know your on a tight budget. Here in California, we have to smog our vehicles every 2 years in the Bay Area, where I grew up in Tuolumne County we do that one time, when we sell it. All the other stuff like tires, wipers, mirrors and body rot is up to peace officers to write you a fix-it ticket where you have 30 days to comply.
My Peterbilt is different (commercial vehicle) in that we take them to our local CHP headquarters (California Highway Patrol) where they have a commercial cop that knows big rigs. He puts on overalls, grabs a creeper and tools and goes from one end to the other checking for oil leaks, air leaks, brake condition, steering slop, lights and wipers, road flares, horns (both types), fire extinguisher, ect, ect. It's pretty involved and that's every 2 years, if you pass, they put a sticker in the lower RH side of my windshield.
