Well the car failed as I guessed it would, one rear shock knackered, one drop link knackered, headlights one too high one too low, (this is a pet hate of mine too as I'm on the motorway a lot
Handbrake not good enough and front section brake pipe rusty
About £150 for parts and £60 for labour, can't complain really as the old girl has done me proud the last 11 months

MOT'd Madeley testing station in telford, and got a local mobile mechanic to do the work for me, the brake pipe I was quoted £80! from peugeot as a genuine part, but my mechanic just cut some and spliced it in, job done!

Stuart Upton, been a mechanic years, it was funny as I bumped in to him when I was collecting the car, saved me a phone call the guy behind the counter looked bemused especially after I asked him to explain the faults
