After some deliberation, I put AYD56 in for the MOT test this month.  It was really a test of what I had done so far and I didn't really expect a pass.   It was most pleasing to find that the brakes worked and pulled up fairly evenly all round.  Also that the headlights had been properly aimed (I did it by eye !)

The only failure points were the front drag-link ball joint (which I hadn't spotted) and the offside king-pin (which I had spotted).  See Steering & King-Pins
