Took the Focus for an MOT last week. Turned out one of the front springs was broken. No biggie. Ordered a new one off Ebay and fitted it in a couple of hours. The advisories I got were mental though. Tread depth on my digital verniers, 3.50mm front, 4.00 rear. I got an advisory for worn tyres even though all of them are over twice the legal limit. Drivers door window not operative after I told him it wasn't in case he wanted to get a readout for the brake or emissions tester inside the car. It isn't part of the MOT test. Rear seat not latching up. I went back and tried it and it latched up just fine. "I mustn't have slammed it shut as hard as you did" he said. Oil mist on the power steering pump. There's a tiny leak from the cam cover just above it. Nothing wrong with the pump itself at all.
Exhaust system flexible joint in poor condition. My MOT tester mate just checked everything out and it's perfect. No leaks. No problems.
Fuck's sake.
