The prize - a well done for me.

The challenge -

My car is about to undergo its NCT. What will it fail on?

Post your guesses and I will reveal the answer after 2100hrs tonight.

Info - 2004 ALH 90bhp non pd diesel mk1. 193k on the clock. Has had brakes and shocks replaced in the last 3yrs.

Worn cv joint gaitor

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7

Steering rack gaiter, indicator bulb colour, wiper blades, corroded brake pipes or flexible pipe

We shall see..

Tyre below legal limit?

Pass, advisories on steering arm inner ball joint and brake lines.

4hrs left... for further guesses :s

1x bulb and worn suspension bushes

With advisory of corroded rear disks

Pass - roadworthy for another 12months! Not even an advisory..

So, @stevestruck - well done, you got closest

Steering rack gaiter, indicator bulb colour, wiper blades, corroded brake pipes or flexible pipe

indicator bulb colour was the visual failure in 2012..

With the exception of the bulbs in 2012, my octy has had a first time pass in every test since - which has been annual as its now 10+ yrs old. 2014, 15, & now 16, its been in tested and passed first time. Advisories '14 were tyre wear - still loads on them and i was waiting for the wear to even out and do a full set at the time. Last yr advisory was wiper blades, despite the rear driver side door not opening due to the deadlocked mechanism i had the new one, just not the time/good weather to sort it out til later in the year.

Good news.
