MOT Advisories

[bmi92]

Recently posted a thread about my failed MOT, It has now come back as a pass after addressing what failed it.

I now have this (quite long) list of advisories. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on what they mean for me please, and the ones to address first.

Advisory Notice issued
Offside Rear Trailing arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.3)
Offside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Nearside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Nearside Front Brake hose slightly deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)

Offside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.D.1)
Exhaust has part of the system slightly deteriorated (7.1.1a)
Nic in offside front tyre sidewall
Wiper blades poor condition
Outer sills poor condition

Thank you
Ben

Basically, your brakes, suspension and tyres are all knackered.

I wouldn't worry about the brake pipes / hoses being deteriorated but presumably the front O/S wheel has taken a knock to a) damage the sidewall and b) cause adverse wear.

Bottom line, get that dodgy tyre replaced and the tracking done.

[Edit] How can you not notice if your wipers are fudged? I find nothing more anger-inducing than being in a car where the wipers don't clear the window properly. It's £15 worth of rubber, sort it out!

I'm still learning So don't use the car that often, but trying to get it ready for the road, where I should (hopefully) be in a month or so.
