Handy tool thanks. I just looked mine up out of idle curiosity. Apparently in 2008 it failed on, amongst other things, "nearside rear shock absorber missing" |

Thanks for this, very very interesting. I just checked mine. OK I bought it with an MOT. but when I looked at the history on this link I found the MOT it passed which didn't surprise me. BUT I found a MOT failure at another garage about 2 miles away. This failure was a week earlier and a hundred miles earlier and it had some serious faults. These faults were enough to fail it at one garage but appear only as advisories at the garage that passed it a week later. On the pass certificate it says both rear leaf springs are slightly deteriorated but not enough to weaken them. A week earlier on the fail certificate these are described as having a fractured leaf and excessive movement in the shackle pin. Given that I intend to tow with this, I reckon I should take a very good look. Seriously this link could save someones life. |

You'd think trading standards would use it - they'd have an easier job finding garages to look at! |

I think you'll find that these days the majority of culprits are private punters, when they take their car to a garage to px and the history doesnt tally up they just shrug their shoulders and whistle. Whereas, traders will always go to prison! |

Mine checks out nicely on the mileage history. Also I knew it failed an MOT (carried out just before I bought it) as the dealer told me. But better still, this site bears out what he told me - ie that it failed on rear brakes (discs/pads replaced) and some corrosion to brake pipes (also replaced) The car was then re-tested as passed without advisories.
Really useful link, thanks. |
