tbh it woudlnt surprise me.
its really ****ed me off, apart from the indicator, and handbrake i couldnt see anything else that could cause a fail, not an mechanic or anything but she drives and handles fine and does everything she needs.
unless its things like emissions tests that are wrong

well originally it wasnt meant to be a proper MOT i wanted the chap to see whats wrong and then put it through, but he just put it through anyway.
i thought he was gna repair the stuff first.
i knew those things were wrong, didnt know there was more.

All of them are simple stuff you should be checking at each service and each time you come back from laning/offroading, so it appears it's nowt to do with them being shysters, but you being a lazy fecker. I mean, no indicator and no washer jet, loose this and loose jet ... do you never feckin' drive it?

As for sending it in without a handbrake cable !!! ... words fail ...
