Default MOT result!

My beloved Tourer has stood since November 2019 having suffered a flooded ECU, which did dry out but proved unreliable. The pandemic has meant I have used other cars, but finally got Big Russ to organise a replacement (Big thanks), and I put a new battery on her. Started first time and ran smoothly, so booked an MOT which has just been completed. I was concerned that she smoked on driving to the garage (less than a mile), but she passed with a few minor advisories. I had expected to have a fair bit of recommissioning to do, but apparently not required. So it's off to the body shop to have her bonnet repainted (dreadful lacquer peel although not another spot anywhere).

Result.

Might be worth trying to find a second hand bonnet in the same colour?
