I am guessing the answer is yes but it currently has a checker plate panel covering it so the 2 holes in it are not really visible unless it's removed or prised back a bit. Will it go through an MOT like this?
Obviously I need to get it replaced ASAP but can't afford to do so before next week's MOT and I use the car daily so can't have it off the road for a month or so if it failed.
Also, can they be patched if the hole is large? The worst one is the shape of the adjoining main chassis leg and the hole is a neat rectangle following the contours of this.
