I have to congratulate Fiat Forum for the software which must be running in the background. My Panda passed its MOT test yesterday, and now less than 24 hours later there is a delightful change to be seen on both the Government MOT check website and also on the Fiat Forum website (Garage).
The next step is for me to go to the Post Office with the V62 form (apparently there is no online facillity) and pay for a new V5C logbook (£25) plus pay the road tax (£107.25 for six months) ... and hopefully see the new status update on the Panda's road tax fairly soon...apparently I should contact DVLA if two weeks (or is it four weeks) pass without any logbook arriving in the post! This is an area of inefficiency caused by the stubborn refusal of a government agency to fully embrace the internet... or is it a deep rooted lack of trust in the motor trade??
Then I can look forward to the new experience of actually driving a 21-year-old Fiat Panda 1.2 !
