Got my MOT due this week and I still haven't sorted my lack of rear plate lights - dodgy rear SAM? Will this be an MOT failure I take it?

Does any member know of honest MOT stations in South Manchester where I won't get the responses of " Sir I think your exhaust is blowing at the front" :fail "That bearing sounds like it might go in a month" :fail At my last Garage, if I had a service as well it flew through If I had...

Hi guys, Thinking of removing the secondary cats from my 01 clk55. I had this done on my 430 and it made a noticeable difference so definately worth it. Now my understanding is that any sort of cat delete is an mot fail from now on so what do you guys plan to do to get around this? I know...

Again, for the third year running! The old girl continues to amaze me and pretty impressive for a 23 year old motor! I haven't been posting up recently as i have a new set of wheels that has been taking up a lot of my time over the last few months - one 1986 T25 camper! It has so far...

Grrrrr. On the first attempt, the emissions were very high - subsequently explained by the lack of a catalytic converter in the system (how on Earth do you get a car that's had its cat removed through an MOT?!). I've rectified that, but now the emissions on the fast idle test come in only just...

In case it might help someone, here's what I've found out about the new MOT requirements, brought in a month or so ago. I struggled to find out these details so I imagine others may too. When I had my W203 tested last month it was initially failed because a message about the ESP system (Visit...

Just had a call from MB offering MOTs for £27.50 Booked in for Monday. I suspect there will be lots of advisories...

My car has just failed its MOT due to a broken spring on the upper low suspension arm. Does any one know ruffle how much this should cost to be repaired? I'm waiting for the garage to give me a price but don't want to be paying over the odds thanks.

My brother has been told that his S500 will fail the new MOT because of an erroneous tyre pressure message on the dash. Mercedes have failed to resolve the problem. The car is 8 years old, one owner and has covered 80k miles with full MB service history. Any ideas on how to rectify would be...

Motoring : Directgov - MOT history request My car has been fortunate to pass all of it's M.O.T's with no advisories apart from the last one which was done at KwikFix just like the previous 3, the advisory says "Under-trays fitted obscuring some underside components" didnt they notice them the...

Hi! all, I've just bought an old 2001 C220 Diesel. It drives really nice, but when I bought it the guy told me that it had an intermittent SRS light fault. I was told that it had just passed it's MOT in February. I'm still trying to fix the SRS fault, which apparently in my case is the...

Hi everyone. Well that's another one out of the way. Total cost.... £90, including the £40 MOT fee. Needed 1 tiny bit of welding on the front offside inner wing/wheelarch.:D That's it.... nothing else. This car never ceases to amaze me. 1998.... 165000 miles..... paid £500 for her in July 2011...

My father took his car in for MOT today - a 2004 E320CDi with a paltry 47k on the clock. It's been looked after all it's life (we both take pride in our cars!) The car failed for the first time ever on:- 2 x Snapped rear springs 1 x lower front arm dust covers perished (needs new lower front...

I will need an MOT on my 210 by the end of February. When I bought it the SRS light would stay on and I was going to sort it, but when Olly replaced my evaporator, which if the photos are to be believed, resulted in the steering wheel coming off, the SRS light extinguished itself correctly...
