Sorry, but that's a piss poor showing for a car that has had time and effort spent on it.

No excuse for washers to not be working, likewise wiper blades and battery.

Tyres, just about acceptable as anything below 2mm should raise an eyebrow at the test... And you could present it knowing that they might only have 500 miles left.

Aggree with the fudd owner, you've spent all that time and effort, and it fails on washer n wipers, and advisories on tyres( which I assume you looked at when you did the brakes. :-\

The "time and effort" is far, far from finished. I have only just completed the main repairs.  I chose to MOT her at this time because I am starting a spell of holiday, and it's a good time for me to find out any failures now, and address anything that might come up on the test.

This may seem odd but I just wanted to know from an MOT perspective where she stood, to know where to concentrate my next efforts, and find out if I'd missed anything she needs.

Just because the MOT is done doesn't mean I consider her at all ready for the road. It will have all new tyres and brakes for example. Despite the current ones being MOT worthy, I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them...

I haven't touched the brakes, yet.

I won't use it on the road until they are done, though!
