MOT advisories

[koolpc]

Had MOT today on a Citroen C1 14 Plate. Have had the car for about 4 years. Mileage is around 61k...

The car passed the MOT but, these points were raised. Should i be overly concerned and get them sorted out asap?

You need a new car mate sorry.

Normally you'd have to pay for someone to scrap it for you, but if you let me know where you are I'll take if for free.






...... Honestly I wouldn't be bothered about that at all. Just keep an eye on the bushes but unless it's knocking or feels off then don't worry

Thanks....

No noticeable issue to be honest...

I been quoted £550 to sort out all the issues in my opening post...

What do you think people?

Unfortunately i am not fit enough to try and fix these issues myself as i suffer with a really bad lower back (bulging discs)...

Corrosion - probably surface rust which as above can be wire rushed and treated.

Bushings - if there's no excessive play in them, you can probably get away with putting them off, but id expect to have to replace them in the next year or two when they start knocking.

I see....

I used to do work on my cars but cant now....gutted.

2nd year that these issues have been mentioned on the MOT....

How are they fixing subframe corrosion for £550.

They aint....

I booked it in with another garage that a friend has used for years....£368.......

I will see if i can get the rust tackled at a later date...
