Car passed Mot today, and did last year too. I'm thankful.
Is this normal?

so far it has (it's 7 years old). Previous cars I've had started to fail around this age but this one has much lower mileage on it than they did at the same age.

Yes always, as it’s well maintained.
Not the case though when I was young,poor and drove a succession of old bangers.

Almost never. It's a 20 year old car. It usually has some minor defects that need fixing to get through the test.

Strangely enough it's not serviced but low mileage.

About 50% of the time. It's a well looked after, carefully driven, reliable brand that is always serviced. 12yrs old.
It's cost me a fortune. I hate MOT day.
