MOT passed again thank God

I was sure she was gonna fail this year too, handbrake iffy, exhaust baffles knackered and small leak.

Fortunately I have found a really good tester, he stuck some putty on the exhaust (apparently the baffles aren't part of the test) and the handbrake only just passed, asked him if it was likely to be ok next year too as being an auto I don't use it, said "that's why I passed it" thank god for common sense.

mines aint due for another 4 months.

to be honest it should and can fail on the handbrake being insufficient.
mines did last year.even though its an auto.if it has the handbrake it must work.its like us imports they cant fail it because it aint got a handbrake.i needed new shoes last mot.get them done anyway it would pay off.i think it sucks as being auto u dont need handbrake really.i never use mine.
