Mrs_G's van will need an MOT in January so I decided to get it done early.
Unfortunatley it failed due to 'brake fluctuation' on one of the front brakes. (The reading on the rolling road showed a variation in braking effort as the wheel rotated).
Although a little disappointed I'm not to concerned - The discs and pads had done well over 100,000 miles since they were last replaced. With a new set of discs and pads the ole girl passed.
For such a high mileage engine I was very pleased with the printout of the exhaust emmission test. The pass limit is 3.00 l/m and the Doblo sailed through at 1.19 l/m. Just goes to show that regular maintenance with quality oil and filters pays off in the long term.
