It’s passed a few mots with those cats but I’d put new ones on.

This is what it actually failed on.

Repair immediately (major defects):
Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))
Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))
Nearside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))
Offside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))
Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))

I’m waiting to be told - I have a figure. I’ve seen a nice similar one with MOT for £10k on AT I’d expect half that

£5500 they want which I might pay if it passes an MOT but then they’d want more I guess.
