Vivian had her 2nd MOT on Saturday.
Sailed through with a side comment about the brakes needing a clean, so I did that on Sunday.
Just something to be aware of if you ride it regularly. They weren't binding but were not releasing as well as they should.
After the clean they now work like they should.

She covered 20,100 miles since last years MOT.
What's even better is my insurance renewal also came through.
£135 fully comp, £500 excess, 25,000 miles per year, garaged, including legal cover.  ;D

Excellent, a good result on both counts.

The brakes really need some sort of cover to stop the muck from getting in there. Having said that, it is fairly easy to clean them.

I had an issue with the rear brakes where they wouldn't return. If I remember correctly, it was fixed as part of a recall.

Other than that, mine flew through its MOT. Just remember if you have installed any farkles that might make your bike illegal, remove them
