Tried, Tested, Sold as seen... If someone bought a car off me and had a whinge about the washer pipe I'd tell them to go f**k them selves.

^ lol
TBH you should have checked it over, i presume the pipe isnt hidden by loads of shit. If you can see it, fix it.
Should always check everything before a mot.

Bodge causing a re-test is annoying, large or otherwise.

If you can't fix it with rape tape or a hammer you have an electrical problem.

Come back and complain when someone has filled the engine with gearbox oil because it was knocking or they whacked a bottle of K-seal in to sort a head gasket leak!

Seeing as the owner of the scrap said that I could have it free as it was only a bit of hose, of course its theft you moron.

Broken washer pipe?
Try the "last owner didn't bother putting any oil in so the bearings get eaten up like so:
...and the engine goes pop at 140mph in a foreign country" story.
Much more irritating.

I meant in general... I always return to the same MOT garage because of the fact that they do a free re-test. I wasn't trying to right or wrong what the previous owner has done. Mate.
