Well took my Ford Puma for a dreaded MOT yesterday. I expected a huge fail but to my surprise she passed. I had a shock when i seen the two page list of advisories though!

001 - Offside rear (inner sill) subframe mounting prescribed area is distorted but not considered excessive.

002 - Offside rear (inner sill) subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive.

003 - Nearside rear (wheel arch) seat belt anchorage prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive.

004 - Offside rear (wheel arch) seat belt anchorage prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive.

005 - Nearside front anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in a pin/bush

006 - Offside rear shock absorber has a light misting of oil

007 - Nearside front macpherson strut has a slight movement at the upper attachment

008 - Offside rear (back box) exhaust has part of the system slightly deteriorated

009 - Nearside inner front road wheel with a slightly distorted bead rim

010 - Nearside rear (buckled) road wheel slightly damaged

011 - Nearside rear brake juddering slightly

012 - Offiside rear brake juddering slightly

013 - Oil leak

014 - Power steering pipes corroded

018 - Handbrake tavel greater than expected.

Don't really know why the tyres are on there as they are all brand new and only a month old! Should i be worried with all them? Normally i only get one or two advisories, not 16! Car has just ticked over 100k and is a Y reg 2001 model.
 
You probably wouldnt get half those mentioned at a different garage.

Funny you should say that. I have always gone to the same garage apart from this time i went to Mr Tyre as i had wheels from them a few weeks ago and with their point system i got my M.O.T for £29 so thought why not.
