My mk1 golf gti is up for a test in three weeks. Its my first time to put a vintage through, is the test the same as a 'normal' car or are there any pointers that can be shared so I can prepare the car accordingly. Cheers

"in the situation where you are knowingly driving around in a car that has failed a standardised roadworthiness test (mandatory or not), whish isn't fantastic from an insurance POV."
I believe that this would be the situation but may not be an issue until there is an incident. Similarly, using the same logic, people who change their number plates after their cars NCT could fall into the same situation should they have an incident.

I'd agree with you but I have some doozy of arguments with NCT clowns over stuff that I wouldn't be bringing my classic for a voluntary test if you paid me. I bring it to a mechanic I trust every year for a health check.
