This is what I got...
Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate
Nearside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6) - NOT STRUCTURAL!!!!!
Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6) - NOT STRUCTURAL!!!!!
Brake master cylinder/servo mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (3.6.C.3) - NOT STRUCTURAL!!!!!
Advisory Notice issued
Nearside Front Front wheel bearing has slight play (2.5.A.3c)
Parking brake: parking brake efficiency only just met. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (3.7.C.1b)
Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (3.5.1g)
Had a discussion with the MOT man, as not happy with the point of the Inner wing for the brake servo, as redid all of the inner wing, only from below and left in the old metal as couldn't really get at it - after realising this, his answer was to make the top side look pretty with filler and underseal and that will be fine
Here is a pic showing what I mean...
and the seat belt fails....
Those holes and parts pulled away where certainly not there when I dropped it off
I appreciate some of the MOT rules, but this is just getting silly - I feel if anything the advisory for the rear brake pads and wheel bearing are more significant to the roadworthiness of the Disco than the fails
They finished the conversation by saying how good it is as disco's of this age normally have a list as long as your arm for the fails
But as we are just the 'little people' in this world not much more I can do than plate up the wheel arches and make the inside of the bonnet inner wing 'look pretty'.
I will also tighten up the hand brake, although this has hardly ever been used given its an auto, so god knows how it has become less efficient, change the pads and tighten up the wheel bearing so it gets its ticket for another years motoring.
Means my new LED light install will have to wait too
Rant over......
