Hi there
i just recently bought a car and the garage i bought it from done the MOT the day before i picked it up. I noticed that my exhaust was hanging down yesterday and when i went to investigate i noticed that my exhaust has been tied up with cable ties!! Do you think that this should have passed the MOT and i should take it back to the garage where i bought it??
Many thanks
Shelley

Not sure about the legal side of it but how long ago was it? I'd go back if it was just recent for sure.
I've never found an honest car dealer yet. Even the ones that make themselves out to be honest are always dodgy one way or the other.0 -
Cable ties will pass an MOT. The test is whether it is secure, not what its tied up with. Just go to a tyre and exhaust place and buy some rubbers. They're only a few quid.0
