It is a rare manual 6 speed 144000 miles with a stainless exhaust, stepped AMG alloys with nearly new Dunlops on the rear. The front wings were renewed a few years ago. The rust bug was the reason for the failure. It cannot be driven as a brake pipe...

Had a play with the MOT website for the first time today:

Earlier in the month I put Mrs BTB's S203 in for MOT and it passed. This is shown on the website, but there's a previous entry (on the same day, and with the same mileage) showing a fail
It...
Passed! :bannana:
However confident you are, however well maintained it is, its always a relief.
No advisories or nowt (on 2009 CLK)

Rarely use the handbrake and noticed it works but itsnt that great, but its failed the MOT, car is a 2008 CLS 500, what is the usual cause and remedy for sticky handbrakes on these ?
Hi folks,
Took my CLS for a 7+ value service plus MOT at the main dealer today. They just phoned to say the car failed it's MOT on rear springs which are apparently both broken and can supply/fit new parts for £409.
A dealer had previously "thought" they were broken a year or 2 ago but when I...

My nearside headlight washwipe isnt spraying on the headlamp, can this cause an MOT failure. I heard that this could be the case. Also to fix the problem can anyone confirm how the system works? I know my BMW E92 had a central pump that covered both sides. looking in my engine bay I...
Hi
I had a free MOT at my local Mercedes Garage in Swansea. It failed as nsf brake was binding. Pads were ok. Mercedes wouldnt dream of trying to free the caliper instead wanting £560!!! Id rather pay £40 for a full mot locally than pay £27 for a retest. But can another garage do a partial MOT...
Hi everyone,
Wondering if you would have come across similar scenario:
My consumption of my 270 cdi has been always really good, with most time computer showing an average 45mpg.
I just recently had my MOT done and it passed with flying colors, no advisories.
But since then, my computer seems...
So the wife's 2000 W210 E320 CDI estate went for an MOT on Sat. The first MOT since we bought it 12 months ago. Its now on 190500 niles :eek:
Since they are renowned for rust, I was expecting the worst. But no, only failed on brake pads, and no advisories! :bannana:
Just having a look at what showed up on cars last MOT as advisory and how much is be looking at spending to put it right.
1. Rear brake pipe slighly corroded
2. offside front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover Damaged but preventing ingress of dirt
Car has covered only around 6k since...

W123 on AutoTrader with MOT till October 17, look at the sill!! that hasn't suddenly appeared in 4 months.
Shame really, hope someone saves it.
1999 BMW E39 520i Automatic. Finished in beautiful navy blue.
Was taken in P/X. I don't know if I'm allowed to post this due to rivalry between MB and BMW but this is a good honest motor.
