MOT soon.

Wish me luck, maybe it will pass twice in a row! 130,000 miles is nothing!

Seriously though, I 'll be back on Friday asking for advice.
I thought Volkswagens were supposed to be reliable?

Depends on them, but it passed! :D

A worn tire, a slightly warped front disc and a slight coolant leak that I've been watching for a few months. No biggies! Ironically running better now with a 50 mile round trip every day.

You can't fail on advisories. They are just that. Advice from that tester.
