Not a chance ........they are the original dealer plates

I will give them a polish or a coat of clear IF needed next year :)

Wouldn't it be better to buy a new pair for 'Sunday best' (i.e. going to the MOT), and then use the original pair for everyday motoring...... ? 8-[ :wink:

How about contacting the original dealer and explain that the plates no longer portray a good image of them and maybe they'd like to give you a new pair!! :-D

I wanted to see how old the car is (31 years) so looked at the gov MOT check site but then noticed there are 2 more advisories not on your paper copy referring to play in front suspension arm pins or bushes. Has the garage put these on the website after printing it out for you ?

Mazda has a nice new MOT. Only £550 including a service, coil springs and dampers and a few odds and ends.

Have been fixed already....they said they would update, will ask why the print is not the same.
