I've just been nosing around on the motinfo.gov.uk website, it now has logs of all the previous MOT tests done on your car (well, the computerised ones anyway)

Now, I assume all the other bits were fixed, but WTF is going on with those rear bushes? First of all, they were deteriorated, and then a month later they were still deteriorated, but not as badly? <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->



And what's going on with the mileage? It managed to lose nearly 10k miles between the first test and the second one!



I'm sure it's just a mistake or something, but all the same, I'll be careful about walking in front of it from now on.... <!--emo&:ph43r:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/ninja.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ninja.gif' /><!--endemo-->
