I looked at mine...

Exhaust has burnt the rear bumper, is that a fail?!

Rear brakes shot - One leaking, Handbrake cable Frayed.

No red reflectors in Rear lights.

Crack on B-Pillar.

Number plate is too small...

Crack on B pillar will be ok - put some tape over it!

As long as the exhuast is secure wouldnt worry about it.

Reflectors - dont have to be on the lights. Just get a couple of cheap ones from a motorfactor and put them on for the mot.

Stick your old numberplate over the top

Job done

I dont see why your putting your car in for its MOT if you know its going to fail. You'd be better sorting it then putting it in, save yourself a lot of hassle and a re-test fee.

The governement now states that if i car fails the mot test, the test station has to offer a free retest as long as the car does not leave the premises

I have never paid a retest fee ever.

Thats what i was told anyhow

Yep obviously they can bump up the price for work - but still things like a bulb or something stupid its a handy way of saving £50.
