serviced every 4 months, 4 stage polished every other week and treated to only the best in parts. so yes it is thanks
its not a death trap either, its just the mot guy being awkward

May aswell fix most of those bits and get an MOT on it. It's an in-expensive fix for the sake of being able to sell it for more and much easier!

rear seats out. harneses in
that cures 4 points on that list in 1 go
other stuff like headlights is easy
sharp bits can be filed smooth, and or have a rubber seal or tape put on them
the cv joint and brale pipe are a bit worrying but fixable
why does it not have side repeaters
and if the rear lights are not the right colour then im supprised yu havent been pulled over and fined yet.
what does this car look like??

green??? 
well the rest is easy to sort shame about all those though!!
headlight aim is a bollocks fail. my Nova was checked and changed everytime, they are allowed to make those adjustments!! - think about it how else can it be done unless you go to a garage and get it done every so often.
get it back on the road!

You took a car to it's MOT without it's repeaters?
Did you do ANY pre MOT checks on your car?
