Default 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
