BOLLOCKS!
passenger side headlamp beam too high. (knew about that and couldnt fix it myself, even after replacing the lamp.)
offside front marked suspension component mouting prescribed area is excessively corroded (welding job)
N/S/F and O/S/F brake hose excessively deteriorated
Booked it for next week and she said worst case scenario is £189.20.
Not good when ive been living like a tramp to save up for a gsi and have to splash out on this.

I also failed for my passenger light too high and I cannot fix it myself and don't know how. I also failed for exhaust emissions and after buying a new lamda sensor it didnt work. So I've fixed a leak in the exhaust and that should do it!
I went 3 times and failed its not good

Can see why people that can afford to buy new cars and trade them in every 3 years before they are due an MOT.
I know MOT is good in a way cos it stops any old car getting on the road thats fucked but they are a pain in the arse too

yes. If I thought it would fail, i knew the headlamp beam would have something to do with it.

It is annoying but these things happen. Got anglo continental to do the MOT, quality garage, nothing bad to say about them at all.

it would be £189 if i had to pay an hours labour for welding but they said it should only take half hour, so that should bring it down abit.

Most places charge the hours labour even if it takes them 10 mins.
