it passes  but there were a couple of things i was told i need to keep an eye on, just wondered whether anyone could tell me whether they are easy to fix! here they are below:
1. offside front brake hose slightly deteriorated
2. drivers side rear wheel bearing becoming slightly noisy
3. cooling fan switch seal leaking coolant slightly
Dont realy know whether these are big things or not!

Pretty easy and simple things to fix imo. Brake hoses are very simple

get a set of braided hoses, about £40
new wheel bearing kit about £30
see if its the fan switch thats corroded and remove' rub down bang some blue sealent on it and put it back together
DO NOT LEAVE THE WHEEL BEARING
i got chased by a bunch or TWATS and i had a noisy bearing, not being able to stop and at some speed killed it and the hub as the bearing siezed cost me £200 to fix

definatly, £30 - £40 for a full kit, then depending on if its the front or back will be say a hours labour or 3
the front takes longer
while thier there you might aswell get the brake hoses changed it doesnt take long
