My B failed it's first MOT (in my ownership).

Failed on a rear wheel bearing. The car has done 83,000 km so would this be expected?

Also failed on the fog light being on the wrong side of the car. The mob that MOT'd it before I took ownership will hear about this for sure.

9/10 times it is mate this is due excessive driving its easy to replace and cheap aswell ok mate this is common mine went the other week :slayer:
 
Just checked my parts list for my previous red B and it cost me £33.98 trade for the offside rear wheel bearing and if I remember correctly it took me about twenty minutes to do.............but I've got a big toolbox:D :D
 
Gonna have to sign myself up for the car maintenance course at my local college. Will hopefully save me a small fortune in the years to come.
 
My rear wheel bearing went this year too. Got the garage to do it, but I might give it a go myself if (not going to say when :) ) another one goes.
