I agree with the above comment.
My Sisters 1998 Corsa has picked up the very same comments Re: corrosion on the springs, for the last three MOT's ! But then it's a Corsa and I know I shouldn't say it, but what a heap of junk! Even when it was new a Golf could knock the spots off this Vauxhall lightweight. The Corsa's only done 28,000 miles from new. It's owner has refused to get rid of it, having said that she's only just woken up to the fact that she's paying way more VED than she needs to. Dear Sister is now looking very interested in either a new A1 or A3 TDi both sportbacks, or the new Golf 5 door but it must be either road tax free or in bands A-C.
Back on topic, I've even known some MOT staff feel the need to point out that the plastic engine covers are missing! Even though that's nothing to do with the MOT (at the moment
) I was once cautioned that the power hood on my Fathers Bentley Azure was taking a long time to open and close. What the blazes that had to do with the MOT I can only imagine
They were probably trying to flog him a new motor.
