This has failed its MOT.
Could this be useful for spare parts by anyone?
Available free on collection.

It has just failed its MOT due to rust:
- rust in suspension spring mounting,
- rust in nearside and offside front vehicle structure.
Also near-side rear brake is binding.
Further details on this can be supplied on request.

It passed the emissions test.

The engine is running without problems.
Tyres are good.
It is taxed till Nov 30.
But if no MOT, you are not supposed to drive it….?
I have been using it regularly, and have only now stopped because of this rust which will be too expensive to weld, and would only get worse I have been told.

Mileage: 156,945

O/S/F door handle missing
O/S/R door does not open

Body work: some rust under one door.
