Pleased to report she passed the MOT last week. As usual it took 2 attempts 😀 She failed the first time on 3 issues:
1. The hazards were not working. This would have been fine but actually they were working. I tested them both before and after the test and they were working. No idea why they didn't work for the tester, maybe he didn't press the rocker switch enough ?
2. Windscreen wipers not covering screen and rubber worn out. I could have argued this as the wiper blades are 10" long and reach the top of the screen so I can't fit any longer ones. And the rubber passed last year and I haven't used them since. But you don't argue with the MOT tester.
3. Rear suspension bottom bolt loose. True but only by a small amount and it was never dangerous as it had at least an inch of thread showing and was held in place with a lock nut.
4. Screw in rear tyre. True, and only advisory.
Anyway, after proving the hazards actually did work, tightening the bolt and fitting new wiper rubbers she sailed through the re-test. Good for another year.
