    Anyone know any car dealers who aren't on rip off Britain?
    What on earths up with yours to cost that much ? You might be better getting it tested so where else ? Because some testers will rip you off !

    Failing that Bramley Brook sells a range of second hand cars up to about £3000 and you will get a fair deal there.

    Back axle heh. Buggers them pram wheels on certain trolleys, they sometimes buckle easily.

    Try using a pair off a sturdier pram and not just off a buggy.

    On another note it sounds like your car shouldn’t be on the road never mind having an mot until May!
    Careful as you go pal.

    Until I get another car mate I don’t got a lot of choice but to use it.

    All I can do is get a new one as soon as I can

    I've bought several cars from Motorpoint and have always been pleased with them.

    They'll say they don't haggle, but they will if you push them.

    Tell what car it is just in case ! I need to make sure I don’t get one ☝️

    Legally once it’s failed it’s test I believe your old test certificate is rescinded, so you might be driving it illegally ?

    You may get it when it’s recycled into a tin for baked beans lol

    No mate so long as you have a valid mot certificate you can drive your car
