MOT failure

[MrGrumpy]

The key point that has been missed is that there is usually a visual check of brake pipes and flexible hoses before the brake roller test

Time to replace with a BEV

Who’s BEV . The Death Star is all fixed up and good to go again. Doing the man maths , I’m still better keeping it and running it than chopping in and buying a new car . If my twin axle van gets chopped in the future then I may reevaluate until then there is nothing that comes close

Give it back, move onto your net new vehicle. That's is how 90+% of all new UK cars are financed

Yep just waiting for all that to fall on its arris. Big flash luxury motors sitting out side 2 bed houses .
I hark back to the day where you haggled a deal, alas no more salesmen not interested unless your getting hawked up .

The idea of massive running costs whilst being a 'young' pensioner is a concern. Decades of budget motoring won't help that perspective either.

I retired before my Dad did!
