Vehicle MOT & advisory check.

spyder · 12th April 2017, 21:14

A above, what is the easiest way, or can someone possibly help out to check past MOT's and advisories on a vehicle. A 03 plate X-type 3.0 V6 to be exact.

I only have the Reg. No. by the way.

Going locally for £800 looks in good nick but one never knows.

Thanks
Craig.

Advisories
corrosion on inner and outer sills
rear arches corrosion
brake pipes corroded
oil leak

I would not bother they suffer rot and looks like this ones on the decline......i bought one that looked amazing until you got underneath.....had to scrap it as rotten.

Thank you for the speedy replies.

Just checked, badly maintained and lost of corrosion.

Interesting OdO readout goes from 104 000 to 180 000 back to 119 000 the next year. Dyslexic MOT man??

This video shows how bad an xtype can corrode.

The car in this video had no advisories on the previous year's mot and no visible indicators of rust either.

I'd advise watching with the sound down, the state of the car came as a surprise - it was supposed to be a routine pre mot check with no expectation of finding any problems.

They aren't rot boxes. You get good ones and bad ones like any car. Mine is a 56 plate with 105,000 on the clock. No rust underneath. Like any old car, check it thoroughly, underneath as well as above.
