A STRUGGLING major car brand is to work with a rival firm just months after "mega-merger" talks spectacularly collapsed. An agreement between the two companies is in place after talks to form one of the world's biggest car manufacturers fell apart earlier this year. 2 Nissan is to collaborate with rival firm Honda just months after failed merger talks Credit: Alamy 2 The car firm are in talks to supply cars to Honda in the US Credit: AFP Nissan is in talks to supply cars to Honda in the United States.

Nissan said in a statement on Friday that it had no additional updates, although it continues to work on projects with Honda.

This comes after the To avoid this, testers at The pictures should show the front or rear of a vehicle and the number plate must be clearly visible. Testers would then be required to submit the pictures to the official MOT website. In addition to this, At the moment, vehicles above the age of 40 are not legally required to undergo the annual safety check. This is provided that the motors have not been substantially modified from when they were new. But more than two in five who responded to a Department for Transport (DfT) public consultation agreed that safety checks should be introduced for cars more than 40 years old. The consultation, which had just over 1,000 respondents, asked whether MOTs or similar checks should be made mandatory for classic and historic cars. Although no decision has been made, it is a sign the older vehicles could in future be subject to the checks. Full MOT checklist THIS is the one-stop checklist that will make sure you are prepared to pass your next MOT. Tyres and wheels - Look out for damage to the sidewall of your tyres and make sure they're sufficiently inflated. Use the 20p coin test to make sure your tyres have the right tread depth, which should be 1.6mm all the way around across the central three-quarters of the tread pattern. The outer edge of a 20p coin will be completely obscured if the tread is deep enough. Also, be careful space-saver spare tyres could catch you out in the test, so Lights - Check all of the car's lights are working properly and are the right colour to pass an MOT test. Have someone walk around the car and make sure they don't flicker when tapped which could mean they need tightening or replacing. This includes headlamps, parking lights, reversing lights, Wipers and windscreen - Check your headlight washers if you have any. Number plates - Registration plates legally have to be in good condition, tightly fastened to the car and easily read from 20 metres away, so checking these is a must if you want to pass your MOT test. Doors - Fix any broken doors or ones that don't stay properly closed. General condition - Make sure the exterior of your car is up to scratch. Any sharp edges or pieces of metal sticking out could cause a danger to other road users and will definitely fail the MOT test. Inside a car - Your dashboard will pop up with Make sure you have a fully functioning speedometer or you will fail the MOT test 3 The DVSA is trying to crack down on 'ghost MOTs' Credit: Getty
