MOT dilemma - list of items attached

2008 HSE 135k miles

We buy any car valuation £4k.
List of MOT items attached.
I reckon over half of the cars valuation to get this lot sorted?
I fully expect the emissions is due to EGRs gone as I've had this before and recently noticed smoke.

By the time WBAC get to see the car you could see another £1k come off that valuation.

Worry about the failures for now, costs should be decent at a fair garage.

Woody32 on here is down in Wellington, drop him a pm, if he's not crazy with work he may be able to fit you in. Drop him a pm

I’m sure you could get all the front suspension sorted for under £1000

Don’t bother with the steering. That’s normal.

I would expect your MOT repairs going into four figures. Maybe under if you just do one rear suspension arm. If the smoke is due to a turbo fault, £2k budget might not be enough. Chris

Its not going to cost 2k you need to Cv gators and a rear suspension arm.

The CV gators arent that bad to do, but the rear suspension arms can be a pain if the bolts are siezed.

Wbac give very low prices, i got a higher price for my Dads car by getting a local garage to buy it.
