NCT dude rocks out after testing the car "it's in great condition, perfect, all the lads came over for a look" , which explains why the car was in there for forty feckin mins!!!! Then came the but.... "but it hasn't passed, there's corrosion inboard of the passenger sill".
Its the side I replaced not so long ago, it's a small hole, just hoping it's where old met new.

Finger tip can cover it.

It is a write off I'm afraid, Steve.. All the lads came over to look at it.. No wonder you're advised to book your test 3 months in advance! That should've been an advisory I think. Strangely, it's the one that been recently replaced..

I'm glad he pointed it out, but have a feeling it wouldn't have been mentioned if the exhaust was hanging off or I'd one headlight.

Well good luck, Steve! Make sure those calipers aren't seized now!
