So, expecting it to fail I put it through the MOT today.

Surprisingly it failed on a few very minor things!

Fuel system component leaking fuel filter (7.2.3)
Nearside Rear Exhaust system not adequately supported (7.1.1)
Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)

Breaking the above down a bit:

The fuel filter is leaking at the bottom but this is a brand new part from DMGRS and the mechanic says its a defective filter, so need a new one (again!)

An exhaust rubber has obviously failed, so will find out which one I need and replace.

Meh windscreen wipers, whatever

It also had a few advisories:

Oil leak ()
Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 40mm circle outside zone 'A' (8.3.1d)
brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened both front (3.5.1i)
Vehicle structure has slight corrosion (6.1.A.1)
front tyres perished
rear tyres perished

So... all in all with the exception of the oil leak (will look at that as its very small one apparently) its not bad for a car thats been stood for 2 - 3 years!! All a result of standing if you ask me

So, happy with that result, will pick up some halfords specials tonight and put it back in tomorrow or Friday for a clean test.

I do however need to find some way of lifting the front up as my jack doesn't go under the sills!!!
