Mot

[AliA]

Had my MOT yesterday and it failed. Nothing major though, just needed a small patch of rust welding with a plate. It was under the bonnet above the wheel liner about halfway from the suspension mount and the front on the passenger side.

So picked it up today and looking forward to another 12 months of beat action. :)

Ady.

The hole they found after they poked around a bit was about the size of a 50p coin. The reason I was told that it failed the MOT was that the rust was found in close proximity to a load bearing area (i.e the shocks/suspension mounts) so they had to fail it.

It looks like the plastic stud was missing, leaving the hole exposed to the elements getting in by the wheel liner. Something for folks to check maybe...
