While I should not be surprised, given the repair bills over the past year, I was pleased to see the b sail through the MOT again this year with no advisories.
All for the bargain price of £29.99.
Of course I did the decent thing and washed it before it went in, just to make it look better than it is.
After nine years and 185,000 kms, it is, as they say, starting to look a bit 'ropey' or as I prefer, a certain patina.
Still needs a new roof, I keep putting a replacement off and the original is now patched up with tape and the front end could do with a respray, but the recent talk of prices for that has put me off for another year.
Oh and I found the first signs of rust with the paint beginning to bubble up near the rear wheel arch, this would be one year after the eight year anti corrosion warranty expired which I believe the b came with?
Just thought I would share.
