It probably couldn't pass MOT. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing if a vehicle can't pass MOT it's crushed?

Sweet! Proper way to dispose of a vehicle at the end of it's service life. They gave it a nice send off!

i doubt it. MOT is like an inspecition here, except an MOT is like a 70 point inspection where in NY its like horns, brakes, lights, wipers and no check engine light. I believe it can be repaired to pass MOT.

It's so if you're in an accident they come on, same reason your doors unlock.

It doesn't have to be crushed if it fails MOT, it can be repaired. But they are extremely strict about some things and it can be quite expensive to repair to pass. Looking at the rust on it, my guess was that it was too expensive to fix.

yeah but I think when the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle people do something like this video. The ones I've seen destroyed have A LOT of rust on body and frame.
