Yes!!

Failed on emissions, even though it wasn't decatted!!

Fortunately had 3 days before warranty ran out and IM replaced both lambda & O2 sensors.

Cool

Wife's Skoda failed first MOT on split CV boot.

Her last car was a Toyota Tercel, I bought it off a family member . The first time it failed an MOT it was 18 years old having passed the other 14 MOT's no problem.

Don't usually have my own car long enough to put it through an MOT.

MY 00, failed, handbrake adjustment needed, must be too many doughnuts on McDonalds car park that did it, I just can't help myself when showing off to a bunch of jaw-dropped Nova-cained's! Seriously, it did fail on this but everything else was fine.

Mine went in on Thursday. Had PPP fitted from new and past first time. Car only has 11k on it though so wear is very low. Did change wiper blades.

Yipee, passed, well Ok one bulb blown but apart from that
MOT and 37.5K service in 1 1/2 hours, pretty good I thought and very good price. Ashburton Motors works (Devon) does it again
