Another pass

The Tourer passed it's mot today. Alas like the saloon
it failed on headlamp aim. The tester adjusted it and then it passed.
I am not surprised the Tourer failed as I had had both headlights off and replaced one earlier in the year. I had asked if they could do a beam test before the MOT but they said no, no time.

Advisories on the Tourer, corroded brake pipes and a slight leak at the back box. Looks like I'll be getting my hands dirty soon.

Mine didnt. Both back springs broken; removed then today and found each was broken in 2 places. Right at the bottom with about 1/2 a coil left in the rubber thingy and the 2nd break was about 2 coils up. It also failed due to the air bag light coming on - think they must have moved the seat.
Spring replacement good oportunity to de-rust and preserve the rear suspension arms. Mucky job but fortunately got car in the garage.

I'm planning on removing the Tourer rear sub frame over winter to check and deal with rust. Good luck with yours.
