My UK Scoob MY00 has just failed the MOT on a ball joint. Any idea how much they are and how much labour is involved? Is it worth getting one from a main dealer or will a pattern one be equally as good?

Car has had its 30k service a couple of hundred miles ago - is this something that should have been picked up then?

Cheers,

Ian.

Thanks for the replies.

Have already had a second opinion - its definitely knackered

I imported the car from Holland so it only came with warranty. Still its 3 years old and this is the first problem I've had with it.

Still waiting for garage to get back to me with a price.

Cheers,

Ian.
