Just got a call from the MOT place. It had failed with the front coils and it turns out that the bolt holding the suspension in place has siezed. They can go ahead but if the bolts snap then the car needs new wheel hubs and that's an extra two grand.

I've told them to go ahead as what can I do? If the coils don't get replaced then it fails it's MOT and is scrap. If the bolts snap then it's scrap. This is really frustrating. ;_;
