Honestly? That's like asking the Pope if he's a Catholic....
I know it cant fail on anything daft like a bulb as the Vec uses the CAN system to warn of this...and it doesn't coal at all so should pass smoke test easily...but I am worried about suspension or brakes failing tbh.

Not sure which ones they call rose bushes? There is some major clunking from the rear end though, and camber on particularly the NSR wheel which gives a loud drone at speed....I'm thinking this is the banana arms though?
Drop links should be fine, I replaced them when the front spring snapped last year, just two weeks after it'd been MOT'd by the previous owner.
