I know if mine went in now it will fail...

need the rear brake bias valve replacing, brakes are shot all round, upper & lower ball-joints on front, they might not like my \'interior\' modifications

oooh and also i\'ll need to refit the cat aswell...

Hurray an unsafe car on the road

MOT\'s are there for a reason, and letting them slip through isn\'t good practice.

If you think it will fail it may do, but MOT\'s are good as they will get your car up to a basic standard, and if you thrash it, that\'s no bad thing.

But i would like to say i do keep my car in tip-top condition however bad and skanky it may be buying a dodgy mot from a pikey lol

Just because the car may have failed does not mean it is unsafe. For example - my clear clusters have no red reflectors in, they are white. This could mean a fail, but it is not unsafe. I wouldn\'t expect the tester, even as a friend of the family, to pass a car that is dangerous
