I had a look at the brake pipes and they don't look that bad:

Hard to judge from that picture, but you have little to lose by rubbing down that pipe with coarse glass paper and see how it comes up. If it comes up shiny and unpitted, take it back to the tester and he should pass it.

I'm taking it to another test station as soon as I get all the little jobs done. I've still got to swap the back wheels round and there's one headlight left to fix. Then there's the anti roll bar link and the rear suspension arm. I've bought the anti roll bar link but I'm not sure how to fit it. I haven't bought the suspension arm yet.

I might take her for the mot again before the last to jobs are done and hope the tester isn't too strict.

I think Hellfrauds did the mot forensically and used a microscope the scamming bast**ds.

Were all those items fail items or just advisories. If just advisories, don't bother with them now.

They were all fail items.

Bad luck. I've never had a fail on a rear track rod, just advisories. A determined tester may find slight play in one of the end ball joints, but they don't knock like drop links.
