What did you do to your van today?

MOT Test passed; too late to collect the M/Home before closing, so have to collect it today. Looked at UK Gov Website to get the MOT details and to confirm new expiry is Dec 2024, but noticed that the mileage has been entered incorrectly 26038 instead of 20368 miles. Will get a reprint with the correct mileage on when I pick up the M/Home ...

For ages I thought I had done 130 odd thousand, was only when it clicked to 140 I realised it’s only 114k. Think it may be new glasses time soon lol

Oh dear. I was told once entered it cannot be corrected!
I had a tester enter a car mileage as 555,000 instead of 55,000 once. My stripey camper had this problem regularly as some years the tester would enter the numbers as shown (wrong!) and others they would convert KMs to Miles (right!). MOT mileage would bounce up and down like a tennis ball!!
In my case with the car, an obvious error, but yours is more critical as much less so and on a vehicle-check report will flag a problem next year when I am guessing the next MOT mileage will be lower than this years? Could impact when coming to sell?

I would take a photo of the odometer before you drive away - maybe with the Certificate in the same frame, and print it off and store it with the MOT Certificate as proof in case they don't correct the documented number.

Looking at this - https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot/correcting-mot-certificate-mistakes - it should be easy to fix though?

I was stuck with this mistake, but so obvious it didn't really matter that much I think

If you notice the mistake within 28 days, the garage can issue a coorected certificate. Later than that and DVSA needs lods of documentary evidence. New certificate now collected alongside M/ home and garage changed batteries on each alarm fob

Hi Gordon,

Corrected by the garage the day after the MOT and new certificate printed for me when I collected the M/Home. I checked the Online MOT Records for Brunhilde and it shows 'Duplicate MOT Certificate Issued' on [day after MOT Test].

As an aside, I saw a 'Duplicate MOT Certificate Issued' message about 18 months ago [and I knew I hadn't requested it; emailed DVSA who eventually replied that they couldn't see who had requested it but it was not necessarily a suspicious event ... [as far as I can remember]. I've had no further problems from that earlier event!

Bought one of those repurposed "Wet Floor" plastic signs from a seller at the NEC Motorhome Show last month. (Yes, you can make one for pennies with a bit of old wood, yadda yadda :) ).

Finally got round to cutting out my Reg number to put on it after downloading the appropriate font (Charles Wright).

Reserved Space Sign by David, on Flickr

I did an "Autotrail Cheyenne" decal for the top part as well, but it looks wrong :( needs to be more equally spaced top and bottom I think? Will probably redo that bit (and THAT is why I don't make signs out of scraps of old wood due to advanced OCD)

Wimp!

I put my NEW replacement Victron MPPT in this morning. Could do with a bit more sun. But it works.
Thanks to Energy Solutions, proof if needed that the Victron guarantee works.
What was wrong with the old one, other than it didn't work ? Dunno, and neither did they. A component failure apparently
