The only things a car should fail on are things like rust underneigh, maybe emmissons, maybe wearing suspension parts

Should be ok, i put my 12v in a month ago and didnt check anything, it failed. Failed on tyre and "major gas leak from the exhaust".
I'd be more worried if the exhaust wasn't leaking!

I reckon it'll be fine mate 
Didn't check a thing on mine before it went in, and it was sat on the drive for a week before it went down  Passed though

PASS!
£201 later  that was the cost all in for the spring, CV boot, labour etc.
No advisories. Clean bill of health for another year 
Happy days. Bank of Sainsbury's came in handy

That was including the MOT, 2 hours labour @ £40/hour. CV boot was £12, spring was £40, MOT was £50.
It all soon adds up. Plus I had to get it done today, so couldn't source a used spring in time, nor a lowering kit

£201 
My days I would have driven illegally for a few days, got the boot and spring done at the weekend and re-MOT'd on Monday

tbh, the MOT wasn't actually due until 23rd March BUT I really can't live without a car because of Uni and works, meh, you pay the price for convenience I guess.

£200 is the price of a basic service at a dealer. Not too bad for an old car that's done 90k IMO.
