From what i can tell none of that should cause it to fail, if they fail it for a decat then you should probably go to another garage...

That's okay then, just hoping I don't suffer the 5dr rusty arches

Rusty arch wouldn't fail anyway, only if it's structural and within 30cm diameter of a wheel IIRC

This is starting to make me worry less about it! Every day my dad tells me it will fail...

Was hoping to pick up some seats this weekend though! Annoying as I have work 2-10 everyday now. So can't just sort bits out!

Depends how low the pads are and what state the discs are in, could fail it on those

There is a limit on brake pad depth although they're not allowed to take the wheel off to check :-) must be visual

rusty wheel arches do fail mot, as jagged edges are a risk to pedestrians
if you can see through the whel trim/alloy wheel ,then if pads look to be below 1.5 mm they fail.

should all be good if the pads are not too low and the discs are in a ok condition, think im right in saying engine mounts are not looked at in the test? and they cant fail the de filter or the de cat!

Brakes will more than likely be an advisory unless they're that bad lol, also Id expect 'oil leak' which I had advised on most of my pugs lol. And headlight aim will probably be out (which is a fail if bad enough) but they should just adjust this for you anyway.
