If there was ever a car that I would put money on passing an MOT it would be yours Tim, I bet you make the testers day when you turn up, I'd say good luck but you don't need it.

Failed on corroded brake pipe and sticking rear caliper :( so much for rustproofing the underside the past few years.

Hopefully all sorted tomorrow :)

Had both my fronts done the other year because of this, probably as i store the Zed for half the year :roll:

Good news is it didn't fail on the corroded brake pipe afterall, they had a second look and I think they must have mistaken the rust for Dinitrol wax :)

I think garages just aren't used to working on cars plastered in wax :)
