Talking MOT Pass

Today I passed my MOT, although I was almost certain I'd fail. Only had 2 advisories:

-Nearside & Offside: Front Suspension arm rear bushes are worn but not resulting in excessive movement

-Nearside & Offside: Rear Suspension arm(s) corroded but not seriously weakened

The front suspension has been making a bl00dy loud creaking noise but it hasn't affected performance and it's good to know it isn't dangerous. At least this pass gives me longer to get it sorted so I can keep it on the road.
