Would have already failed on split CV boot and/or broken spring which is being done before the MOT.

So the stats.

Last MOT = 78k miles (Failed on rear shocks & were replaced).
Current mileage = 90k miles.
Times serviced in between = 1 x full, 1 x oil change, 2 x new tyres.

Place your bets now. . .

Nah I doubt it will.

Why do people have soo littel faith in their cars?

I slapped my 91k TDi Ibiza in for an MOT without even checking the bulbs or washer fluid, passed with no advisorys?

Oh deano GTF, it'll pass emissions.

My 1.2 16v Corsa had a rattly CAT and it flew emissions.

The TDi didn't even make a reading (it was sooo low) on one of the tests.

There's not a lot it can fail on surely?! Most of it's been repaired, well maintained or nearly standard anyway? Good luck though!

Luckily I have dropped it at a non-MOT garage for the repairs where I always go, and he then takes it to local MOT station, so things like that it should pass

I dont get why people can have cars fail on tyres, lights, levels. They are things you should be checking regually!
