Failed MOT :’(

[Sami]

Front tyre was slightly too worn, which is fair enough, but then under the rear door (drivers side) there is a small hole say 2cm across rusted through, its the seal apparently? Anyway this failed the MOT, not happy as I dont see why thats a failure the guy was a bit padantic if you ask me

yeah if there is a hole in th sill then you are gonna have to have it welded. if it goes rotton (as it has already started) you are gonna be losing a great deal of strength in the car.

its on the under side though, I wouldnt have thought it would make much difference?

its not to hard to weld a sill on imo ive just had one on my car which i did myself but if you get some1 else to do it make sure they stone chip it or underseal or bother....will make it last loads longer!!!!

as for the bold tyre u could stick your spare on for now but keep that wheel out!!!!

they cant fail you for not having a spare tyre but they can fail you for havin a bald spare tyre!!!

hope this helps!

if the hole is only small and surrounded by good steel just get it patched, prob bout 20 quid no need for a full cill welding in.

 

[Sami]

Yeah its just a pain, obviously cant drive it till I get it fixed and its not half frustrating having to pay some guy over 40 quid for 30 minutes work and then failing it

yeah but you get a free re-test, and at the re-test they only test the things that it failed on
