MOT tomorrow, car is dirty :-\

That depends. Is it a Corsa? if so it'll fail anyway.
Just don't say to the tester, "There's nothing wrong with it so it should pass" or words to that effect. I hate it when people say that (unless they have good mechanical knowledge and look after their car) it then puts me on a mission determined to fail the car.
You're better off to say its just an old car for running to your work, and never ever tell a tester your about to sell the car, can make a pass with advisories into a fail very easily.

Citroen C2 05 plate. I decided not to clean it or sort the hubs out, only thing they mentioned was that the headlights were facing too low so they raised them abit and it passed with no advisories. :)

As a treat to her for being so cheap today, she got some new shiny hubs and had a nice bath to make her all shiny and clean and for christmas she's getting 6 months road tax :p

The car was so dirty I couldn't find it at first, just about managed to read the number plate though. :D

Urgh, I got a lift from a friend the other day. She hasn't got her car cleaned since about October so it was caked in dirt from the snow etc.
- Lights didn't output enough light due to the dirt.
- Could definitely not read numberplates from 20m, had to be pretty close.
- Windscreen fairly hard to see out as she has no screenwash.

We cleaned it up a bit with some old cloth, and then bought some screenwash. Really does need a proper wash though!
 
My 306 Rallye passed its MOT today.

0 advisories and no bribes required.

And it cost me £35 not £54 like some people pay! :p
