First MOT

Well I'm pickled tink.

The Freelander has failed its MOT test but only on the rear silencer. As its the first test I've put it through I was quite nervous because you never know what bodges the previous owner did to make it pass (like mullerring the warning lights...).

But just fail on the exhaust (which is basically a consumable) and a couple of advisories so I'm happy. I've yet to collect it as they can't fix it today and I'll have to wait until Monday, so more details on the advisories then.

The run up to the test was a lot different to when I had the van. With the van it was a case of "it's going to fail, but by how much?"  With the Freelander it was more like "Will it fail?", a totally different feeling.
