I have found my self in the tricky situation of being based in Germany while my MOT is due. I don't want to / can't get to the UK for the sake of renewing it.
If I am unable to renew it, i'll have to put German plates on and get a TUV (the German MOT - well sort of). Aside from the cost, this has the flow on effect of having to switch insurance companies (with UK based Classicline atm) and I would loose the BMW warranty (a strictly UK-plate product). This is the main crux of the situation, I want to keep the warranty as it's been useful, and I think future custodians will want it.
Here comes the possibly dodgy question. Does anyone know how I can get a UK MOT in Germany? UK military bases can do them, but only for direct family, which I am not. I am thinking along the lines of a UK mechanic based in Germany, someone at a UK military base who can pull a swifty, or a 'compliant' UK mechanic.
Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers!
