Mine has just past it's mot yesterday .2016 model t32 . 96000 plus miles on her and got an advisory on rear discs and pads which I already new about as it's in the plan to get done when getn service done so really you shouldn't have eny problems .I live in Glasgow so can't really recommend a test center but as stated above a local council center is really a gd option as they don't stand to make a profit as they can't do the repairs
Gd news
So just having my T6 serviced and noticed this sign in the waiting room. What the hell tests are carried out that could damage the engine 
That's for the smoke test....
Applies more to older smokey diesels.... they rev em up to redline to see how much soot they pump out the back.

Revving the engine for the emission test. 'Have you had your timing belt changed recently sir? Wouldn't want an old belt snapping when we're revving the nuts off your long stroke, high compression diesel now, would we?'

LOL, I had a '91 reg import Pajero 2.5TD in 2006 and it went in for it's 3rd in country MOT. They revved the nuts off it for a good 5 mins before coming to me saying they couldn't do the test as the emissions reader wasn't giving a satisfactory return (0.2). I explained that I was running it on SVO and the tester nearly fell over. He said it was the lowest return he had ever done.

straight vegetable oil (SVO)
Vegetable oil fuel - Wikipedia
FYI - This is NOT recommended for your T6 =]

Sorry; forgot. Cheers @Dellmassive Do not even think about putting any veg oil or bio diesel above B10 anywhere near your T6 (or T5 for that matter)- you will wreck it, at one point VW listed it as an option on new vehicles for up to and including B30, but it has long since disappeared from the options list.
Thanks chaps, been numerous years since I last took a motor for an MOT.
MOT today and passed with only one advisory (1 number plate light not working)
Myself and @T6180 had ours done last week, both flew through with no issues, which considering mine was it's first MOT and I've done nearly 90k, is fantastic.
who did you use? Im in Glasgow also.Mine has just past it's mot yesterday .2016 model t32 . 96000 plus miles on her and got an advisory on rear discs and pads which I already new about as it's in the plan to get done when getn service done so really you shouldn't have eny problems .I live in Glasgow so can't really recommend a test center but as stated above a local council center is really a gd option as they don't stand to make a profit as they can't do the repairs
Hey buddy ,I use (DP motors ) Rutherglen, used them for a good few years now with the car , really fair father and son business , should point out I don't think they do class 7 Mots , I do have a T32 but because it's a shuttle it's classed as a 4 so they could do mine no problem , I wasn't sure what weight category you were so thought I would mention it
