My Car failed its MoT...

[Ted]

Oops... think I got a few fail points:

001 Offside front headlamp aim too high
002 Horn does not function
003 Nearside front shock absorber has a serious fluid leak **DANGEROUS**
004 Offside front shock absorber has a serious fluid leak **DANGEROUS**
005 Front windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid
006 Offside front obligatory mirror seriously damaged, affecting the rear veiw
007 Exhaust system has a major leak of exhaust gases
008 Exhaust system has a mounting that does not fully support the exhaust system **DANGEROUS**
009 Offside front brake pipe twisted **DANGEROUS**

Plus a couple of advisory points:

010 Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 40mm circle outside zone 'A'
011 Both rear tyres worn very low (2mm) **DANGEROUS**


Hmm... this lot might take some fixing!

I guess going off-roading in it didn't really help the situation, but it made a funny video:

All except number 9 should have been spotted before taking the car in for the MOT.

You must like throwing money away, how hard is it to give the car or even a bike the once over a couple of weeks before its MOT's due? Not hard things to spot.

Just noticed its a Fiat . . . Must be nearly new to be in such a good condition.

Hang your head in shame . . . . . Cotton eye joe!!!! Do you line dance as well?

Thats a busy weekend for you then. But seeing as its a fiat uno it is probably uneconomical to repair it. Unless your handy with the spanners that is. So glad my car never fails its mot.

C'mon... everyone like Cotton Eyed Joe! And no, I can't line dance!

Didn't throw too much money away, got the MoT cheap. As for me being handy with spanners... not really! But my brother (the MoT tester who failed it) can sort it for me!

We knew it would fail before I booked the MoT... after all the front bounces down the road and it sounds like a tank! But it was worth the money to find out what needs doing to it...

Pooh!

Even my unmechanical eye can see that points number 1 and 5 are petty things.

Yeah, so you blind a few oncoming traffic and they think you're on hi-beam all the time ...
And you have to throw a bucket of water over your screen to get all the gunk off.

Nit-pickery!

Yeah... we just put them on to put the number of points up... it had already failed anyway!

It would have been better if he had warned me that he was about to test the washers... I got a facefull of stale water!

That a paltry list, for a 93 uno theres not much on it.
I can't believe there's no welding needed, I'm quite surprised it still has a floor.
