You'll be able to see from that how many miles he's done since last year's MOT too

Which will be good evidence against the claim. If it does get that far.

Found the reg in a previous post. So it failed on:

• Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))
• Nearside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength sill at front and rear (5.3.6 (a) (i))
• Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength sill at front (5.3.6 (a) (i))

Repair as soon as possible (minor defects):

• Nearside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources (4.7.1 (b) (i))

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

• Central Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
• Nearside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
• Offside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
• Nearside Front Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
• Offside Front Service brake binding but not excessively (1.2.1 (f))
• Nearside Rear Service brake fluctuating, but not excessively (1.2.1 (e))
• Nearside Front Seat belt webbing slightly damaged or frayed (7.1.2 (b))
• o/s/r seat belt is of an occasional fitting and not fit for purpose

That's what happens to 28 year old van especially when not driven (about 1500 miles in the year)

He bought an old 2nd hand van in a private sale, took you to court (and failed), now he has had it for a year and it has failed an MOT and wants to take you to court again, (after failing to turn up twice previously himself) .....

......OMG ....LOL

.......he is making a right idiot of himself, but must give him 10 out of 10 for effort!!...he is like the Terminator!!  !!!

He must realise he stands absolutely no chance, and he is really just wasting his time, and trying to wind you up....

....could be a mini TV  series in this    ....is Toby Jones free????

Actually, I don't think this is good advice. I would keep everything he sends you just in case it is needed in the future. You never know where he might be going with his nonsense.

Will be interesting to see if the court accept his claim or simply don't allow him to file one, unless its sufficiently different than the previous.

I'd say the MOT looks absolutely typical of what I'd expect to find on a twentysomething Mazda Bongo.

I would be concerned if it wasn't showing that level of corrosion tbh.
