I put the 75 in for it's Mot a couple of days ago, and it passed

What was interesting was that it would of failed last year with the same fault, but was passed with a minor fail this year.

Anyone guess the minor fault ??

Brake pipes?

numberplate light??

Yep - Number plate lamp.

Last year, if a lamp is fitted it must work. This year, if a pair is fitted, only one has to work, and you get a minor fail (advisory) if one is out

Not a bad result for a car I was given 5 years ago (it was going to be scrapped) and now on 131000 miles.

Exactly the same on mine. Couldn't believe it!

Bumble had the same last week...done the jobs to pass but then he gave me an advisory for hold tie on rear brake hose

Annoying

They are only there because I had a noise and was trying to eliminate causes....ending up being the rear dust plates ...I replaced all four.
