My Discovery passed 3 times in a row, with only routine servicing
(I never did more than change the oil & filters for any of them)

I have faith Neil.

A pass, perhaps with 'Advisorys' (do they have them anymore??)


As an aside, our 'spare car' (Fabia 1.4Mpi estate) goes in tomorrow for its MoT test.

It's 4 years old & has covered 16,000miles! (with some clonking bushes at the rear)

It seems that it depends where you take it for the dreaded test. My old Samurai passed with an advisory for a leaking stearing box, a few days later a mate who is a tester said that he would have failed it on that  :?  :?  :?

I have the advisory sheet for the MOT on mine from 12 months ago listing a problem with brake discs - I haven't done anything to them & it passed an MOT this year with an advisory on a ball joint - no mention of the brakes.

It true it depends on the tester's interpretation

I always take mine to the Ambulance Service garage that was previously in the Hospital grounds (but it's now on an industrial estate about a mile away from where we live), as I know the tester & trusted him to be fair & honest.

It's there now & I looked at the figures before it went.
Curiously enought it was also Mot'd on the 22nd last year :shock:

It has covered only 3,074 miles between the 2 inspections!

Just walked down for it (not at the Ambulance garage this time though, as I didn't book it in)

It passed!,  I had expected a 'Fail' on the clonking bushes
