Re: Failed MOT
would half 2 be new brake hoses and coil spring.
ud half 2 take the wheel of and make sure the adjusters r not sezed and adjust then or the handbrake cables could be sezed.
then probs be a new wheel bearing
on the coolant system ud heed 2 do a presure test and see were its leaking from and then ud need 2 change the shock and new suspention joint sudnt be that expensive.

Re: Failed MOT
u could gt a the shocka nd the spring from there bt the brake hose the joint the handbrake cable and the wheel bearing would be best 2 gt brand new coz if u gt them second hand there stil could be sumin rong wiv them if u gt me.
£100 aint bad for all that 2 be done anyways m8t im a mechanic and were i work that would brobs work out 2 be around about £200 to £250 ish so tht price is gd and ur best bet 2 gt the parts would be a dealership or a car parts factor sumthing like that.

Re: Failed MOT
oily shock is NOT an mot failure so long as i still damps correctly 
It might be worth going to a scrappy and poping a drum off a car that feels like it has a good wheel bearing, take the shoes/brackets and wheel cylinder and hoses aswell if they look good but tbh new hoses whould be safer, you can get the rear springs out if you unbolt the shock and lever the beam down whilst your there, most of the fail items should be sorted by giving the brakes a good going over on that side, chances are the wheel bearing is fine it's just that because he couldn't check it because the wheel was binding he had to fail it to cover his ass.
