Omega Owners Forum - Will it pass???

ScottieMV6 Omega Knight Offline Posts: 1188 Swinton, Manchester Gender: Drives: Nothing because I sold my MV6	Will it pass??? 01. Apr 2010 at 09:33 Well dropped my car off at the MOT station this morning after giving it a good blast down the dual carriageway to clear the cobwebs. So the big question............will it pass or fail??? Maybe I should run a book on this. Personally I am expecting a fail that way i won't be disappointed!!

Apr 2010 at 15:41 I bought a facelift 2000 X reg 2.5 Elite, with 2 weeks MOT. Loved the car, but took a big risk.....it paid off. In for MOT, passed without an advisory!! Could not believe my luck!! It can happen, occasionally!

Apr 2010 at 16:38 No, failed.................but only on rear brake pads which is both inexpensive and easily fixed Advisory for white smoke when accelerating though which still concerns me. Going to sort the brake pads and try and clear the fault codes first though

It seems that as far as bodywork etc goes the car is solid so might be worth spending a few more quid on
