Mine failed it's test on Tuesday... excess play in nsf ball joint, excess play in nsr wheel bearing, both rear axle bushes and emissions 

Sorted it Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and flew through the re-test    What an experience changing them back axle bushes is... "likely to become displaced" it said on the failure sheet!!! NO CHANCE! we were very aggressive with a very big tapping stick before they let loose.  Took full axle off so just put it in the vice to push new bushes into place.  Rear wheel bearing just needed nipping up and I gave her a mini-service with oil and air/oil filter change and adjusted air/fuel for the emissions. 

16 year old car and failed on v.minimal things really... gotta love dubs.
