Another mot pass!

Hi all
A succesfull MOT pass today on my 10 year old 95000 miler. I'm feeling pretty pleased with her after curing my leaks and now this news today. I have a Honda Accord 2.2 diesel and this is a 2006 plate with 52000 miles on the clock. I notice on comparing the emissions the difference in mean opacity is only 0.02 at 0.19 for the Rover and 0.17 for the Honda.
On the acceleration test the Rover is better than the Honda with 0.20 and 0.21 respectively. I thought it would fail on the handbrake but it passed and only mariginally worse than the Honda on the total forces. Indicator bulbs failed due to being white, but my friendly mechanic replaced these.
