First Mot

[lukeeddy]

As above got to Mot my car just before I trade it in anything that I need to pay special attention to with the 200?

Just the usual easy to check stuff

Bulbs
Tyres
Washers working
Seatbelts working

etc etc

 

[lukeeddy]

Yeh checked all the basics just wondering if theirs anything these cars are prone for failing MOT's

 

[Chrisgti6]

I would imagine as long as it's not done starship mileage it should fly through mate.

 

[lukeeddy]

Done 40k on a 09 plate which is above average but not ridiculous, cheers for the help

 

[Chrisgti6]

Well mines 2007 57 plate with 60k on the clock. I've checked the MOT history and it's never failed (it's only had 2 of course, the third is due later this year, so this could be the one!)

Do you do trackdays? If so, do you like riding the kerbs?

If not, no worries, but if you do, be prepared for some pain if your front lower ball joints are worn.

mines a 56 reg and mine has passed today

I think as Mark said a few people have failed on lower ball joint, and sometimes a cracked spring (happened to mine last year) other than that there pretty good.

 

[lukeeddy]

What's the symptoms of worn ball joints? What to look out for?

My 200 had a seized rear calliper unknown to me before mot
