I sold my immaculate Connie 1.8SE due to a knee injury (it was a manual) and swapped it for my current 2.0 V6 Club. I saw that it failed its last test on what I would consider to be minor issues and it hasn't returned to the road.

"Repair immediately (major defects):

  • Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))
  • Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))
  • Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))
  • Exhaust carbon monoxide content at idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (b))
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

  • Rear handbrake only just met min requirements
  • Coolant leak ()
  • Nearside Front Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
  • Offside Front Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
  • Nearside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
  • Offside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
  • Front both anti roll bar bushes slight play
  • Central Front Lower engine mounting to subframe deteriorated "bush"
  • Front exhaust clamp deteriorated
  • Rear exhaust clamp deteriorated"
A vehicle check with DVLA shows



"Vehicle details could not be found"


I hope that the current owner/user hasn't just scrapped it but who knows?
