Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading to a balancesport suspension kit but wonder will my aygo fail it's first MOT in August due to it being modified?

Thanks,

Thanks.

An interesting read but am I right in saying that if that suspension kit has some form of quality mark such as British Standards No, TUV certificate etc. or is fitted as an optional extra then it is exempt? Otherwise a lot of businesses will cease.

No - because although a suspension kit may be made to certain standards, it all depends on how well the kit has been fitted.
