There's a sort of irony to that, isn't there? You can put gas in a diesel car and it might blow the engine, but you can't put diesel in a gas car - wherein wouldn't do much harm. Hmm.

GL with the MOT test. A 3 year old car shouldn't have any issues... right?

Yes the diesel pumps do have a bigger nozzle so shouldn't mis-fuel..... Yes it should pass it's MOT. They've made the test tougher just lately. When I took my other 7 years old car for it's MOT it passed but I got several advisories: for a 'tyre near tread limit, front brake discs nearly worn out & will need replacing before next MOT & back wiper blade split.'
