W-reg V6 Connie passed MOT - At some expense this year!

My W reg V6 connie passed the MOT yesterday, usually it goes through with minimal fuss for a fairly low mileage car @74k.

This year I was worried about the missing front heat shield but this wasn't mentioned

However lots of other things were mentioned to the tune of £500 quid.

Front drop link, oil leak, welding on the sills, front pads, front tyre, rear exhaust, brake pipes... I may have missed something.. but all in a bill bigger than I paid for the car a few years ago. However I am not complaining at all, the work has transformed the car it now sounds a lot nicer and no more knocking from the front. I had forgotten about the potential beans on toast for the next few weeks after getting a mile down the road
