V70Well the old girl went through her MOT this morning, the only advisories were the rear pads are getting low but I knew that anyway. Needless to say I'm chuffed to bits, I had a quick look underneath whilst it was on the ramps and it's really solid, the swedes certainly knew how to build a good quality car all those years ago

Thanked 120 Times in 79 PostsGlad to hear it. When the MOT had been due with my past Peogeot's I would dread it! Feel a lot more confident with the Volvo's now

Thanked 83 Times in 72 PostsMust admit I'm really happy now I've put her through an MOT as the previous owner had the last one done and having previously brought cars with MOT on them that turn out to be absolute sheds I was a little scared. But she flew through and so all is good

Thanked 83 Times in 72 PostsThat's good mate the tester that did mine was surprised as there isn't a spec of rust on it not even on the rear brake lines
