MOT Advisory Fiesta

building_with_lego

I have an 09 Fiesta which passed the MOT with an advisory for a nearside slightly distorted rim. I queried it and they explained that it was a small dent on the inside rim, probably caused by a pothole and nothing to worry about. I have alloys too, there was no mention at all of needing to replace the rim, and I did ask!

Thank the nice tester - he just saved you from three points and a fine. Oh, and make a mental note to start checking your tyres more often!

Make that 6 points. For the two illegal tyres ops neglected

No, only three if both are dealt with at the same time.

I have many mornings and afternoons, It's actually more of a finance issue.

did the guys at the tyre depot say anything about the two wheels ?

if they were badly damaged then they would have told you when they were fitting tyres

Thanks Forceten, No nothing was said about the wheels.

Anyway as it stands I have two brand new tyres and a better idea of what to do regarding the advisories. Once we've moved house and I have room in my brain to think of the car again and I have a bit more money in my purse I'll organise for the garage to look at the wheels again and go look into sourcing second hand ones.
There's also a chance I might sell this car and purchase my mother in-law's which is a year newer and around 20 thousand less miles on the clock and a 5 door. So i'll have to decide at that point whether to do the work before I sell or not anyway.

Many Thanks

No points for me! 2 spanking new tyres which I'll watch like a hawk in future.....
