Title: MOT time for my 98 MV6....
Post by: LJay on 26 July 2011, 16:46:19
.....any guesses on failures / advisaries?

I'm guessing there might be some welding required as her bodywork is rusting nicely so maybe underneath is too. :(
We were advised to have the exhaust welded when I had geometry done but then promptly forgot about it, oops! :-[


MOT's tomorrow, place your bets.

Well ive checked all the simple things

Serviced brakes not long ago

tyres, front perfect, rear around limit - due changing about autumn I think

lights all work

wipers / fluids all sorted.

all steering components feel ok to me.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow afternoon  :y

The guy that used to do my MOT's said to take the car for a run, let it get to high revs a lot, and this would help pass the emissions test! :y

It worked too! :-*
