The metro has an MOT!
I have a rather decrepid metro - my Nan bought it new so there's a bit of a moral obligation to keep it going as long as possible, that and it's a hell of a lot cheaper to run and insure than my saabs!
I FINALLY got it to pass an mot during the week. One or two advisories though - Rear suspension pipes heavily corroded (only reason it didn't fail is because it's not a failable item apparently) Rust Brakes out of balance Rust Steering coupling splitting Rust Oil Leak Rust High HC Rust It's a metro (is that allowed as an advisory??!?!?!) Fortunately my tester has a sense of humour Just waiting for a price on suspension pipes before I try and use the thing. As you can see, we take good care of it, and park it under trees to try and hide it from the neighbours |
