MOT Failed.........but still happy

[stevefesta]

Took the Williams 3 for it's first MOT in my ownership yesterday and it failed :(
It failed for a directional tyre running the wrong way (I had the spare on and was expecting this).
No reserve travel on the handbrake (17% efficient, so pass for effort but advised)
Lastly a front flexi brake hose is splitting.

All in all not too bad. Have had a couple of toyo's put on the front and they are doing the hose and adjusting the handbrake as I have to take it back for the re-test and saves me getting my hands dirty.

Not bad :D

The worst part is not being able to drive it for nearly two weeks until it goes back for the re-test!!

Sorry to hear mate. It's all part of the Williams ownership am afraid.

If it's any conciliation mine passed with flying colours back in July, no advisories...lol

That's not bad at all, I'd always expect any new car I buy to fail it's 1st MOT in my ownership. My valver failed it's 1st one on a few things that I didn't know about or notice in the time I owned it up until the MOT so got it fixed. Then for it's next MOT she passed with flying colours :D

It's quite a relief that is failed on those things and nothing serious, as there is always a chance you missed something big (or it was well hidden)when looking at the car. Now that I now it isn't a basket case I can spend some money on a few things I want to improve and then keep it tip top so it never fails again

yep, those are minor things. brake hose quick to fix if you have tools and tyre npnp. Watch the handbrake cable though. I'd replace it anyway soon.
