My 308 is taxed but has had no MOT since May.
It's possible the head gasket was starting to go on it.
Makes me sad it's off the road.

I sold a 4 year old Punto with 4k on the clock. Now has 90k on it 4 years later

One thing the system needs to recognise is that a rear axle is not a subframe, of which the Corsa B has none. Report says for the past 2 years that my rear subframe is corroded but its the axle and the tester confirmed it.
