I finally got a pass and should be picking the car up tomorrow. Here's the failure list
Do not drive until repaired (dangerous defects):
Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected inner wing (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected inner wing (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected chassis leg at floor and inner wing (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected outer sill (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adversely affected outer sill (5.3.6 (a) (ii))
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e))
How did that happen? I've done less than 1500 miles in the year, admittedly due to breakdowns
I say should be picking it up tomorrow but that's going to depend on me finding my v5c.
I had to sorn it but when I tried to re tax it the reminder wasn't recognised. It should have been valid until the end of march but i think this being a leap year has messed things up
it'll still be nice to get it back even if the huge financial outlay means i can't address the other issues (mainly paintwork) for now.
