Leon MOT Failure

Recommended Posts

My g/f's 99/W Seat Leon 1.4S has just failed it's MOT.

 

The car has done well under 50k miles and has been serviced only a couple of months ago.

 

The failure was for cracks in BOTH of the rear springs. Does this sound feasible or d'you think the garage is taking the pi55?

 

all comments appreciated.

 

cheers guys.

nope, no driving down flights of stairs and the trustworthy mechanic who serviced the car (have relocated since) didn't notice it when it was serviced a couple of months back.

 

i think these guys are taking the pi55 but wasn't sure as i'm not the most mechanically minded of people.

 

anyone else care to comment?

ask them to show you where the crack on the springs are. you have a right to ask them.

 

this is exactly what i'd do Bijal. problem is i'm about three hours away from her in Inverness and i know they'll try and fob her off and say they've lost or disposed of them already.

 

really annoyed now.

You are saying that they changed them with asking the customer??????

 

no mate, they asked the customer (my girlfriend) is she wanted to OK them to do the work (which included waiting a day for two springs would you believe?!).

 

the problem is that the car needs to be taxed tomorrow and that can't be done without this MOT so she just said yeah, do it.

 

:bang:
