Default MOT outcome 2006 V70 D5 AWD - did its job

Hi to all,

So my V70 went for the MOT yesterday, the first since I bought her in July last year.
Failed on offside break hose being damaged but thats all. For a 14 year old car I'm very impressed.
IMO this shows the value of the yearly MOT which i'm sure is seen by some as a pain in the arse but its there to help keep the car safe and roadworthy and by finding the damaged brake hose its lived up to its purpose.

I've had a couple of other jobs done as well.
Front brake discs and pads replaced as well as the front and rear vacuum engine mounts. I did a vacuum test a while ago and found both mounts leaking.

Still loving the car with a few more jobs to do in the summer including changing rear discs, pads and handbrake shoes. Change auto transmission fluid and change rear coils as they are a bit corroded.
