John's MOT failure
« on: 25 April 2012, 17:45:24 »
Was taken a back to hear the estate failed it's MOT;
- this is a pretty tidy car that doesn't want for too much. 
Sure there will be maintenance/routine replacement of parts but I knew of nothing pending (unless those w/bones, but they rarely fail a mot).

Equally surprised to confirm it passed next test after they'd sorted the issue (standing instructions on my cars - if simple/quick/cheap fix it, because I don't really want to have to take it back).

HIDs without washers - not mentioned.
No air freshensers anywhere (although a nearby station was offering a pre-mot with free freshener!!!)
Cleaned & tidy. No warnings up at all.
Forgot to check the tyre presures - but it wasn't that.

Anyone care to guess what the refusal sheet says ?

Only if it clearly shows her being shot in the head by somebody from the sane brigade.
