welcome to fsi sam :FSI:

the usual mot is around £45, but it all depends on what it fails on or if it fails, but if everything is good then fingers crossed it sails through :chill:

looking forward to seeing the pic's :D

Id check the sills dude, prime place for rust on the si, and can result in mot failures :)

Welcome!! 8-)

Check there are no holes or bad rust on the sills and also check the brake pipes all round. These are favourites for mot's!

Front suspension arms wear out quickly on fezzers too so one or both of these may need replacing!

Other than that just the usual like break pads etc.

Are you the same Mr Sam that posts or posted on oldskoolford and xrtwo.com ?

As for the MOT alot of places near me will do a pre-MOT check to give you a heads up about what it might fail on, might be worth seeing if you can get one done local to you
