    The 1998 V70R Sails through the MOT again..... :-)

    Had the MOT today and got paranoid prior to taking it in. I was dreading a big bill to get it through and thought its zero fault pass last year must of been a fluke!!! But, nothing to worry about...... 16 years old and 184k on the clock with 3 back to back MOT passes since I've owned it!!! Now to celebrate and spend some money on her lol

    Now a numberplate is a bit hit and miss, but 2 bulbs? Hang your head in shame.

    Considering it's a year older than yours, with less miles and has never had a single mechanical failure....
