Just realised that the advisory sheet was missing from the MOT certificate on the new car i just bought.
I know there was one as there are staple holes on the certificate. Reading on the back i found out you can review the cars full MOT history and advisory notes online, i never knew this! Worried as to why they (dealer) removed it i checked my car online. Nothing really to worry about and here is my cars history:

Not bad, only ever failed one MOT! Wonder why they didn't give me the advisory sheet? The advisory notes are not that bad. I can't find the oil leak and the crack in the windscreen is tiny and can easily be rectified. Brake discs nothing to worry about either.
