Title: MOT pass
Post by: TomPaine on 22 May 2026, 10:44:12 AM
Another MOT pass to report, for my 2004 Aero estate, 180k miles. It's cost c£2k to get her through the last couple of annual service w MOTs (welding, rad, bushes, coil springs, PAS pump and hose etc etc) and I wasn't sure I had the financial stomach for that again, but happily it was much lower so on she rolls. Replacement headlamp level sensor link arms to sort the non-levelling headlights issue, seems to have worked; new rear wiper blade and number plate bulb; bit of welding to the rear silencer; ACC regas. Brakes might need doing before next year but ok for now.

Good news  :thumbsup:

Mechanical stuff can always be done, it's the bodywork that we need to pay more attention to these days
