Fantastic car.

Failed last year to a sticking rear NS caliper and foglamp mount rusted/broken - Replaced brake with refurb from brakes Int. and stuck a block of wood behind the fog lamp and cable tied it in. Can't really notice it, but something that will eventually go on all cars (and it's about £70 for a new bracket). May be worth checking and protecting somehow.

This year passed with advisories - low front tyre treads and slight pull to the left (easily remedied).

Not too bad for it's age and milage ('02, 132k). I did notice rear bushes showing some degradation so will be getting them done at some point in the future.

Do what I did!

Single exit exhaust, exhaust blank plate (covers oem fog position), relocate fog lamp to driver side rear reversing light location.

MoT legal and works rather well.

PASS today, Zero Advisories ..... 04 plate with 58k

did have a small issue of the jet washers being gummed up with wax (its gets washed weekly so never use them) but the guy cleaned them out and all was good.

also had an illegally spaced 3/4 plate on the front T25NGO.... they didn't mention that, although the font and font size is legal

Passed on Saturday. MY02 with 88k.

Advisory on ARB droplink which is starting to go.

Also advisory on all 4 tyres as they are approaching legal limit, they are all over 3mm which is weird.
