Here in Ontario we have to have emissions tests once in a while but no mechanical/safety test.
As to my MOT, staying off medication so far and still able to cover a hilly 100k bike ride in reasonable time, so I'm happy.
I also live in Ontario, but too far North (not that far North), and we don't need to pass an emissions test up here....
