I picked the Dimma up from the MOT station earlier and its bad news, 2 pages of failures!! 
Some of them are easy repairs some arent so good!!
Front headlamps arent the same colour
Nearside headlamp aim too high
Offside headlamp aim too low
Missing both side repeaters
Brake load sensing valve seized
Nearside front brake hose excessively deteriorated
Offside front brake hose twisted
Nearside rear brake hose excesively deteriorated
Offside cv boot insecure
Nearside cv boot deteriorated
Offside front tyre
Nearside front antiroll bar drop link
Nearside ball joint has excessive play
Nearside rear trailing arm bush has excessive play
Offside rear brake pipe leaking
Side lights not working
Number plate light not working
Handbrake efficiency
Along with a list of advisories:
Front and rear pads low
Lower suspension arms modified but not seriopusly weakened
Steering rack modified
Driveshafts modified
nearside front and rear tyres low
Vehicle lowered
No spare wheel
We also took it to the body shop today, and its going to be getting a full respray staying the same colour if it can be matched as its not the original colour of the car, all the dents sorted, all the rust sorted etc, its going to be rather expensive but should look amazing once it has been done!!!
