Just had my Defender sail through its MOT with no advisories what so ever.
Well thats a first especially as I did absolutely no checks before presenting the vehicle.

Tester thought his smoke machine was broke as it only registered 0.25 on the clap-o-meter whatever that means. Previous car was showing 3.1 which apparently is a fail for a pre 2008 diesel turbo.

I am one happy bunny. Well at least until the tax and insurance are due.
 
Good one, Shifty, nice when they go through like that, usually a sign of careful maintenance.
Mine usually goes straight through, although sometimes they give and advisory cos I have a plywood floor in the back, apparently this means they cant see if the floor has rusted through :confused::)

My back thinks it is!:eek::D

No leaks, tbh there was a tiny one from the seal around the oil cooler stat, but I put a new seal in when I changed the stat a while back :)
Previous to that was a weep from swivel housing, new seal dried it up, didn't need to change the ball.
 
totally unbelievable! not even an advisory on a oil leak or corrosion?

I thought that only exsisted in fairytales

Only corrosion on mine is one of the rear corner cappings that the lights fit to and the bottom of my doors. I've got the new capping to fit and am looking into repairing the doors next year.

Got one of Pressbrake's rear crossmembers fitted and the rest of my chassis is perfect.

If only all MOTs were as stress free and cheap.
 
mine went in yesterday. New steering arm ball joint.

Waiting for a phone call to go and collect.
