I didn't expect the points it failed on tbh, said he couldn't move the car onto the ramp as the caliper was seized wtf! been driving it daily and not even a hint of it!

Broken rear spring as well which I hadn't a clue about and never would have thought about when driving it so all a bit strange!!!

Here's the rap sheet

It happens, had the unnoticed broken spring twice in the last two years and the handbrake/caliper fully seized on my wife's car the week after it's last mot.

At least they're not the most difficult to fix issues and it should be back on the road quickly!

It had an engine light and abs light and you didn't think it would fail?

Thats not a bad list to be fair, no welding or nowt simple bolt on bits.

Ive had a caliper seize after being in the brake rollers. s**t happens, i think they get a bit more load on them when testing.

As above, easy fixes although the mil and abs lights are odd as presume you didn't take a car for MOT with those both on

Probs broken a tiny bit off the end of one spring. Nothing to worry about, they're easy to change.

Just to answer this one,

Engine mgt light literally came on after I washed the car 30mins prior to the test! ABS light was intermittent so that was a maybe/maybe not one! but I was talking mainly about the other 2 fails tbh.
