My e36 FAILED its MOT with £600+ of work NEEDED!

Just a quick “plug” as I don’t do them anymore…this weekend the 16th-17th October I will be having a clearance sale on our Driven247 hoodies over on the website so check that out: www.driven247.co.uk

I don’t have mine anymore, after the MOT situation put me off the car to be honest, so fixed her up and sold her on with a fresh MOT, many more BMW videos on my channel, check them out and thanks for watching this one!

Not too bad really and glad you can get it sorted anyway. As a suggestion, if you’re sorting the shocks, ideal time to do lowering springs if that’s what you plan on doing 😋

Yes just glad they aren’t “major” jobs well maybe they are but to my Dad they are not, oh and good idea…thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@sadtranz4451]

not that bad , lucky you have a very good multi skilled dad

[@Driven247]

Yes I am so lucky and feel it in this sticky situations! Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Always a tense time an MOT, especially with an older car. This is again where having a dad with mechanical abilities and a vested interest in your safety comes into his own. He'll do it right and your BMW can live on. Given the age it's not a bad fail list either

[@Driven247]

Thank Alan, cracking on with the car this weekend to hopefully get it through an MOT next week, yes having a Dad like I do, I am super lucky and I know it! Thanks for watching and for your comment!

Gutted mate!!! I bet you are kicking yourself black and blue thinking “should of stuck with abarth”

[@Driven247]

Yes I’m gutted but I haven’t wanted the Abarth back ever since it went, I’m so glad to not have a financed car, but yes with the Abarth it never would have needed money spending on it as it’s a newer car etc. Thanks for watching, it shall pass it’s next MOT, I hope!

[@24run]

Ouch will pass next time

[@Driven247]

It better do after the work it’s going to have! Ha ha, thanks for the luck!

£600 from a garage isn't actually that bad. At least the rear door handles are ok.

[@Driven247]

I like your thinking, positive thoughts on the door handles and them working now ha ha, made me laugh, thanks for watching and for the comment.
