We have just had the car MOT'd (25/03/2008) and the failure sheet reads as follows:-

  • Near side Seat belt locking mechanism faulty / requires replacing
  • Offside seat belt anchorage corroded, see picture below of the offside sill and door step that requires welding / replacing, we were quoted two - three hours to repair.
  • Nearside side light not working
  • Nearside front tyre below legal limit
  • Offside track rod end - excessive play
  • Offside top ball joint - excessive play
  • Exhaust - leaking gases where it joins the exhaust manifold
  • Front exhaust mount missing
  • Nearside rear subframe mounting corroded, see small hole in near side rear sill we were quoted under one hour to repair.
  • Handbrake cable is frayed
  • Handbrake efficiency below requirements
  • Offside front brake disc warped resulting in juddering

Both door skins and A panels are corroded as is the N/S scuttle edge, these do not effect the MOT, but to make the car look immaculate these matters will need attention at some point.

The electric sunroof is perfect and does not leak, interior is clean but commensurate with the mileage. Mechanically the car drives exceedingly well, but at high revs synchro can be beaten when selecting third gear.
