New tyres, pads and discs will fix most of that. :)

I thought mine was bad... :p

it came with 17" wolfrace voodoos which im going to refurb and use as winter wheels as i quite like them

swapped all top arms, offside hub (threads for wheel bolts where knackered) rear discs and pads with bearings and 16" sport alloys and bolts from the avant im breaking while i swapped suspension

also spent 2 days cleaning it, seats out and vax'd carpets + machine polished bodywork, its getting there
 
That is one big list how the hell some people can leave a car to go like that

think owner was retarded, driving it to the mot station he could of lost his license at 3 points a tyre

when it came with leather interior from a later model, performance back box, bailey dump valve, k+n, koni coilovers 17" alloys etc youd think it would be a bit better looked after
 
mine failed on 5 things

1- number plate non reflective
2- number plate had no bs number
3- number plate was the wrong font
4- number plate had no makers name
5-number plate had no postcode

as you can tell i changed my number plate and it passed but what a **** take i thought
 
was that on a b5 or newer car? non of my cars plates have makers name/postcode
 
wow what a list, hope it was worth it?
so can you see other cars mot report online with being the owner of the vehicle?
 
you need the registration number, and some kinda reference from the v5, so basically you need to own the car.

But if you have the docs, you can view all its previous MOT's, and see what its failed on or being given advisories on, since the computerisation thing happened.
 
it was on a b5 but the plates were the german look ones that were made of tin, took them off and they bent like a banana,so had to go in the bin
 
I have a German plate on the front of mine and the last 2 MOT's a standard plate has been stuck over the top of the German one with 2 thin slivers of double sided tape. Just after the MOT it falls off and goes back in the boot until the next MOT. lol
