Try these Roger. OK they were taken 11 months after the previous MOT (at Larne), but check out the spring! Both sides were like that, and were broken for at least 4 years. In fairness though the break in the springs were only visible if you stuck your head between the arm and the floor - it sat level, but low, with no noises or movement. I spotted them just prior to the previous MOT and expected it to fail, but it didnt, the car drove so well and stable, I was loathe to replace.
I didnt notice the holes prior to the previous MOT, and I was looking because I had a pair in the attic. I would have expected the suspension shaker to have exposed the holes for the ramp stage that follows.
For those who are interested,
THIS is the NI MOT (at Mallusk by the looks of it). They do check for the dashcam now and some ask you to switch it off - others dont care though.
