Vehicle was SORN from 1st April 2013 until last week when it passed its MOT with the following advisory's:
1. Rear registration plate de-laminated but not likely to be misread.
2. Offside front (rear) suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush.
3. Front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened.
4. Rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened.
5. Nearside front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt.
6. Offside front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt.
7. Nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
8. Underside corroded.
9. Both rear brakes slightly binding.
10. O/S/F tyre worn on inner edge.
11. N/S/F tyre worn on both edges.
12. N/S/R tyre worn on both edges.
All of the above sounds quite a lot and makes it sound a lot worse than she is but the brake discs were pitted as the car had been sitting for 8 months, and after some driving they have now smoothed out again and the rears are no longer binding. Yes, the CV gaiters are starting to perish however are still doing their job. Underside corroded - seriously, yes there is some surface rust but nothing drastic, the car is 10 years old! And yes the tyres will need changing at some point. The rear number plate laminate is bubbling but it is not too bad.
I had to put a litre of coolant in when I took her out of SORN, have been keeping an eye on the level and so far no problems, there is a small amount of dry coolant in the V which tells me that the thermostat may have a slight leak. If it gets worse I will order a replacement and either do it myself or pass the kit to the new owner.
I have advertised her locally for £1200 but will take £1000 hard cash from a forum member, Pics to follow shortly.
Any questions or interest please drop me a PM.
