What are the MoT failure items? Might well be saveable for not too much cost.

Suspension arm attatchment mounting bracket insecure and impairing directional stability offside front. Rear mount has completely split
Brake pads front inner BOTH DANGEROUS insufficient liquid windscreen spray Airbag fault light Incorrect rear bulb colour Headlamps need cleaning beams wrong (same every year) Two tyres imo three Anti roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents ingress of dirt offside front Brakes imbalanced across rear axle Exhaust silencer insecure Shame cos I could do a few of these it’s just time I haven’t got anymore The bodywork has dings from the oap owner previously bless her Some old girl crashed into the rear arch her insurance paid me £700 and wrote car off but only cosmetic Car locks don’t work! Boot leaks water Apart from that it’s a good car! |

Well, the first two items are obviously serious and need sorting - most of the rest don't look too bad. The mileage is fairly low for the year, so would be worth getting a detailed quote/advice before scrapping it, and you won't be able to get another car potentially as good for £350. You're in Colchester so going east you could tap Trikey on here for some advice; going west there is Chelmer Autos in Chelmsford who look after my car and know all about 75's and ZT's and have a T4.
