MOT after 10 months in the shed..

Sold my Puma (Ford) just now, and the time has now come to get my old disco back on the road. I phoned up the garage to book it in for an MOT, expecting next week some time, but they can do it tomorrow, soooo...
Considering its been sat up for about 10 months, what checks can I do this evening/early tomorrow morning to make sure she is all ok..?
I have checked the obvious like lights n stuff, but are there any not so obvious things I can check on..?

Not sure how it was when you put it in the shed but look for corrosion, inner wings, sills, boot floor, rear body mounts etc,.

Stick a pry bar in between the bushes and look for movement and do the same with steering TREs too.

Might be an idea to get a diesel injector additive and if you can work the engine a little bit to get it in the system and cleaning it up a bit.

All the welding has been done and bushes should be ok, but good call about the diesel additve. I will get some fresh diesel n some additive in her before she goes in..
