suspension, bushes and brakes are all new, ABS works so it should be fine but it's the first MOT since I've had it

I can top that

1993 Audi 2.8 V6 - 278 000 miles, no problems at MOT for 2 consecutive years - mind auto gearbox went AWOL shortly afterwards, mainly due to a crappy design fault. Germans ain't as good at design as they are at screwing things together.
