I tend to get out-bid on the bay or run-up!  :roll:

Do you know all of what it failed on?

she failed on (8/4/09) : reason for refusal: 1. ns headlamp aim low. 2. DBT Service Brake efficiency 45% (she had been standing), .3. both front windscreen washers provide insufficient washer liquid. 4. os axle swivel joint has excessive play. 5.  Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a non turbo charged engine (she had been standing), .6 front passenger door cannot be openned from inside vehicle (it is stiff but can be opened). 7. Fuel cap sealing washer missing. 8. Front registration plate deteriorated. 9. os front wheel bearing feels rough when rotated. ADVISORY ITEMS: 10. Radiator has small leak. 11. Oil leak (rocker box cover). 12. ns steering neck seal leaking. 13. Steering slightly tight. 14. Both steering necks pitted.  The MOT was undertaken at a Quick Fit garage used to normal cars! It was remarked upon how good the chassis was.

Give the brakes a clean and re-test at any landy friendly station and itl probably pass!
Altho O/S swivel/joint worth a look at before something goes bang!
Good buy!

A quick update on my series. I have fixed a lot of the leaks and smaller jobs etc and am sure the smoke is just overfuelling so will tackle that next. have found a hole in the floor under the pas seat but think its easy to fix . And as a special treat gave it a cut and polish.

Haven't had to spend any money yet so it still owes me £386 ;O)
