MOT checks - a couple of questions

[Dead Eye]

a lot depends on chain tension / condition , as long as the wheel turns freely with just a little resistance thats fine.....whens the mot ? 

That is a very good question... I can't remember but I'm sure I have the document somewhere. Its around September I think

I would suggest there is more than a "little" resistance. Pretty sure the chain needs a good clean, but not entirely sure on what to do in that respect. I do try to make sure that I spray it with Chain Lube and the chain and sprockets were new as of last November.
