Well done. I think my first one had done about 250k and then only failed due to BSI water ingress. Probably the most reliable car I have ever had - and the best headlights.

I might treat it to a new A/C condenser now and get the A/C back up and running.

Good news, it's always nice to get a pass - especially one with only one advisory :cheesy:

I think our cars have much the same mileage - I think the last time I looked I was on 176k.

Well done young man. 8)

They've got a nerve giving you an advisory for an item that's not supposed to be tested, (AFAIK).
:? Come to think of it, my camper got an advisory this year for a corroded main beam reflector.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

I had a MOT fail due to a "fog lamp light beam too diffuse" (or something). So I removed the light bulbs and then the MOT passed :cheesy:

I'm going for the 19-th anniversary MOT in november, plodding along at 420 K miles on the clock. Yours is barely run in :cheesy:

I threw my 406 in for it's MOT today, only 6 weeks late...

I did also give it the obligatory yearly wash too.

Passed 😁

Only advisory was a mismatched front tyre ( I had to fit the spare ) and slight rust on the rear cross member - still okay for a few more years though.

Another year of abuse for the car - I'll start it off by moving furniture on Sunday 🙄

Hope everyone is well?
