FAIL 
As usual 
Headlight aim (As normal)
Low front tyres (Whoops) 
Welding to Chassis Rail Knew that was coming
Rebooked for next Monday and she'll be good to go for another year.
Passed with HID's and Black rear lights this time which was interesting.

Nah - Common problem on B's, It's a little scabbly bit near the jacking point on the rail. Looked a bit suspect last year, but it got through.
Not this time

I dread to think what my old Corsa would fail on this year, good luck to the new owner
I'm thinking about getting HID's are they easy to fit and what ones do you all recommend?

Mine has gone through MOT's for the last two years without a problem, and with white LED's as sidelights too.

No - HID's will pass.... It's the level that won't, I'll just change the units for standard ones
Car looks dumb with a full size numberplate on the front too

Hids in normal headlamps wont pass(well, they shouldn't), because they dont give a focuses light beam. They scatter light everywhere.
So they will fail on "no headlamp image"
Chassis welding is an easy fix, just wack a plate straight over. Had to do it on both sides on my old p-plate corsa.
