Hi I can't believe it I was so worried about taking my Merc in for an MOT because I haven't had it all that long. No it didn't pass but it only failed on a leak in the exhaust that can be welded up I'm so chuffed a 15 year old car that I really didn't have the time to check over or prepare for the MOT fared very well. respectively anyway. should be all back tomorrow with a ticket to ride for another year!!Jimmy |

That's a 190 for you. My old 2.0 was never prepped for M.O.T except for obvious basics, wiper: lights: tyres etc, and never failed once
just occasional advisories.
