MOT Surprises - bigcheez2k3 - 04-09-2016
Last week my friend and I picked up a 205 from my great Aunt, was my great Uncle's until he died. It's last MOT ran out in December 2014 and it has sat in the car park under a cover for a while and she just wanted rid or it was going to get scrapped, although sentimental value meant that last one was unlikely.
It's a 5dr 1.4 with awful paint work so we were jumping about going crazy, however we looked underneath and it's cleaner than my 306. It's a 1991 so it's 25 years old and bloody clean and only on 90k, we were very surprised at the condition.
So we get it back last week, have a look over, tinker with little things, etc Friend decides to put it in for an MOT incase there is anything we have missed that needs to be changed. I was expecting a fail on at least 1 crusty brake line and a bush somewhere.
It passed! and with no advisories!
We were genuinely shocked. We are still going to do a couple bits to it for peace of mind and general maintenance but it's just amazing tbh.

My 306 did an MOT once and didn't fail on the handbrake efficiency.
I was amazed.

Are you sure that wasn't a dream?
My mate bought a 309 off ebay last year for £310. Had been sat for 8 years (in a garage mind) after the old boy who owned it popped his clogs but it went straight thru an MOT, so it can happen :-)
