Cali now sold
My Cali is going in for it's first MOT this week and I wanted to check whether I need to remove the Spare Safe? I would hate for them to fail it over a simple error on my behalf in leaving it in place.

Any advice gratefully received.
 
From the test manual:

“You only need to inspect the tyres fitted to the road wheels at the time of the inspection. If you notice a defect on a spare tyre, you should advise the vehicle presenter.”
 
I’m in Spain so took the time to remove the spare safe as it looked pitted. It took hours to remove with WD40 etc and it was rotten rusty. Would not have liked to do it at the side of the road…. In England.. Now painted and copaslipped…. I would highly recommend anyone who hasn’t to take it off and clean it up before you are in a position where you have to.. What a job…. The bracket was seriously corroded….
