I think that's a few of us with D2 S8s that have recently sailed through MOTs without advisories - testament to the quality of the vehicle and - of course - the high standards of maintenance

Nice one Andrew

With all the work I've had done in the last year (including a new front subframe, power steering hoses, a major service, the dreaded 'oil cooler pipe' and a gearbox rebuild), I spent so much on the damn thing that even my accountant made a comment about my "beloved S8" when doing my tax returns recently! ![]() The good news is that he tells me, because most of my mileage in the vehicle is business related, I can claim 95% of the maintenance cost against tax .... so the nice taxman is helping to keep this S8 on the road ![]()

Beat me to it David, though I think Brian would have at least a couple of advisories...

![]() My S8 sailed through its MOT last month with no advisories too but, as some of you may have noticed, I'm a bit preoccupied with new house and new pension stuff to be a frequent poster here at the moment. But, in the words of some terrible actor and politician, "I'll be back". ![]()
