    Are these required for MOT?

    is it the door lock sticking causing the door not to open ? If so unlock car, leave it unlocked, door will then open, = Mot pass ! :) Is your steering box leaking ? Rust inner arches, sills, boot floor ? I think your little list might be the least of your worries on a disco :) lol !
