Had its first mot today with me as the new owner, it failed but im pretty happy with the list.

1. amplifier wire was unadequately supported ( its now been tied out the way)

2. offside rear brake binding (the dust cover has come off, picking up a new caliper from down my local yard for £20)

3. centre steering rack gaiter split (not sure how much a new one is yet probably less than £10, not sure how to fit it yet)

4. offside front suspension arm ball joint nut is ineffective ( Its not the correct nut by they are getting me one for free)

5. High level stop lamp less than 50% viable ( It spells out SAXO but i have a spare i can put in for the retest)

6. Finally it failed on emission (its cated with no element inside, but have a MK1 cat and 4-2-1 mani to go on)

I'm pretty happy with that, it had two new kumho tyres on the front size 195/50/R15 thanks for advise wullvfr and is still running 195/55/R15 on the rear all 4 wheels were balanced too
