Mallusk MOT centre, photographed today amidst the closure of centres across the province due to signs of cracking in 48 out of 55 lifts. Most MoT tests for cars and light vehicles in Northern Ireland have been suspended with immediate effect and the Driver and Vehicle Agency has said it could take weeks or even months to fix the defective lifts.

As I wait, drumming my fingers on the steering wheel, it occurs to me that I have no idea what MOT stands for. I run through some possibilities in my mind. Motor Of Trust? My Only Triumph? Masculine Or Timid? Man On Trial? Moment Of Terror? Mental Ordeal Today? Massive Octopus Tentacles? I make a note to Google it later on.
