« on: September 17, 2012, 05:24:50 PM »
Well today was the day , a trip to garage for the MOT , I am pleased to say that the one and only Brubus passed with flying colours , no advisories , and I asked if there was anything I should be aware of and the reply was ..... No , all is fine ......  ..... after eight years of ownership I can honestly say I still have a big soft spot for this car ...  ;D

the only things that have been replaced by mercedes at MOT are the number plate bulbs as my lights are on all the time... they keep advising on the 2 bulbs that are out in the high level brake light... should really replace them but i carnt be asked doing it

I'm also very impressed with the hardiness of the car - I've had mine 13 months now, and been driving it daily since January.  Other than the usual things - tyres, brake pads, and servicing, I've had no trouble.  Oh, apart from the horrible Brabus alloys....

Of course I might be jumping the gun a little... mine's due it's MOT in 9 weeks!

Even my pulse which needs TLC, only had brakes that needed attention.  Still a shorter list than other cars.
