After my debacle last year with the MOT station I thought it would a good idea to accumulate a list of known camper friendly MOT stations round the country so that other users have a database of where is best to go. So if you have been to a particular garage that knows what they are doing with a 30+ year old vehicle and you trust then put the name and location of said garage on this list.
