Passed with no advisories, but the damned thing got rained on for the first time since the last MOT! :o


I knew it should pass but it's always a relief :roundel:

mines being MOTd today... expecting a fail given that the low brake pad warning light is on, the emissions light is on, and I seem to be leaking brake fluid from somewhere.

but strangely, I quite like it when a garage finds problems and then fixes them, so if it does fail on a worn bushing or whatever it'll be nice to get it fixed as then it'll likely drive better as a result.

First world problems!

If you live in the UK and the MOT is due this time of year your car is quite likely to get wet! :)

At least it got a clean bill of health.

My MOT is coming up, had quite a lot of advisories last year but as I've only done 300 miles in it since I'm hoping they'll still be advisories ! :lol:

Hi Russ 59.
Good news on your zed. If you want your rear brake pipes done at any time, give me a call. No stupid prices either. Im only in Chesterfield.

Thanks for that👍, but my brothers, brother in law is a mechanic locally and he’s going to be servicing my car so will let him have a look at them for me.
