When Maisie arrived with us she had no MOT, had realy poor brakes and had locking wheel nuts with no Key ( 2 Per Wheel ) . I booked her in for a MOT askign for the brakes to be done and the wheel nut to be removed and bined.
A few days later the garage called to say she was done, the brakes were sorted with a pair of rear wheel cylinders and other than the washers that were not working she flew through her MOT. However my mechanic was less than enthusiastic about the job to remove the wheel nuts , it took them hours and hours. The final bill without that impediment should have been say £150, but the labour on the wheel nuts added £400 on that!!
But that’s her sorted for this year, last official MOT is next year then she’s classed as MOT free.
