Car was in for MOT last night. And guess what....
... It Passed. 
Had a little 'panic' as the sidelight had blown from when i checked it on Saturday and they'd never been turned on since. 
£20 to get a 'comfort check over' by a mechanic, £10 for headlight alignment and ordered new locking wheel nut key. What other 5 year old car generally needs so little done to them?

That is good, a ZS at MOT time is never a time to panic.
