it could fail on items you cant check your self, track rod ends, rack wear, shocks, anything.
Good luck tho, im sure you will be fine.

wont fail for spongy brakes. so long as they have a certain amount of force they will pass. so you should be ok with v6s. check washer fluid and any other fluid obv all bulbs. if you are low on just springs you might fail for loose springs when they jack it up.

My second Corsa goes back in on Wednesday, failed on number plate light (now fixed), blown manifold, cat, and indicator stalk (mainbeam comes on). Quoted just over 200 to fix it!

If a battery isn't secured then it's only an advisory.

you are correct it's not a testable item but most people would advise that it's insecure
