Underside Inspection
From Practical Motorist, May 26 1934

Since November 2012 pre-1960 historic vehicles have been exempt from the MoT test (UK), a compulsory, annual, check on roadworthiness for all vehicles 3 years old and more.  The Dept for Transport exemption was based on the assumption, and trust, that historic vehicles are often very well maintained by their owners and have a much lower accident, and MoT failure, rate than newer vehicles.  Owners do have the option to take their car for a voluntary test.

An essential part of checking for roadworthiness is a proper inspection of the underside; this artilce may help you do so.
