Call that dramatic - Car I had once failed so badly they wouldn't let me drive it home as it was too dangerous!

Thats not the bad of a fail to be fair, i certainly wouldnt be asking if i should scrap or not because of those pretty small problems, the cat would be the only one that would worry me on cost.

Unless it was a small engine on 150k miles it doesn't sound look too bad to scrap it. Use your judgement and how you think the car is as a whole definately don't just do it based on the MOT

People on this website make me laugh.
MAJOR FAIL= 2 bulbs a ball joint and a cat! 
Just this weekend someone traded their 206 in for just £500 because they couldnt be bothered to replace the rear axel! Talk about false economy

Exactly my thoughts
You could fix that for just shy of a 100quid yourself, that's only 1.5 tanks of fuel

Expensive fuel you pay then.... 
That would be about 1.8 for me 
I would only tade my car in if the work that needed doing was worth more then the car its self.

Just fix it, i spent more than that getting replacements parts, you just have to way out the amount it will cost to what the car does for you.
In my case i have spent and am still spending on my car because the car returns more saving repairing it that if i where to scrap it and buy another second hand one with no personal history.
