As the Tax is due on my car and the MOT also expires at the end of the month I thought I would try to re-new my tax online as soon as I received the reminder.
The web site didn't recognise my current MOT so I had to put the car in early.
Well it failed!
Both rear brake pipes corroded and a tyre with uneven wear.
It also has advisory points about brake pads & discs and ball joint.
Not too bad and I am pleased that all will be fine when fixed.
My main worry was that I looked into my cars previous MOT's on the HM GOV website.
For the last 3 MOT's the corroded pipes had been advised but none of the previous owners did anything about it.
Even the dealer who I bought the car from didn't say he just told me a ball joint needed replacing.
I should have taken more care!
Oh well owning a Mercedes changes your attitude to spending money.
I will throw a bit more at the car and all will be good in the world again
Just though I would pass on my findings
