Re: MOT Failure
When they say exhaust mount....do they/you actually mean the rubber bushes that hold the exhaust to the car.....as these are persihable and can sometimes last just 1 year. I'm not sure what car you have got but an example would be a Mini.....the exhausts are very heavy and the rubber exhaust bushes/mounts are well known for breaking often.
As for the power steering, remove the fuse and say your doing without it...then the leak does not matter. If you dont have power steering its not an MOT failure.

Re: MOT Failure
What car is this for?
Need a quote PM me what you need I will take a look Monday, it all stinks of a rip off to me buddy. A £350 exhaust should be a decent one, even stainless and lifetime warranty systems are possible for this sort of money (depending on vehicle). |

Re: MOT Failure
I own a car repair business.
Those prices are waaaaaaaaaay off. Find another garage. They are trying to rip you off BIG TIME! Call around for prices and see. Not sure about disabling the power steering and passing. (as mentioned above) Even if you could drive it...disabled power steering won't pass here. (That's a big NO) Doubt it will there either.

 No idea if its the bushes. They told me it was a bracket that supports the exhaust system. If my car had no power steering I wouldn't be able to drive it at all. Quote:

Re: MOT Failure
Can only echo the advice of a second opinion, but, is the bracket part of the exhaust system, or part of the car the exhaust hangs on to?
If the exhaust, then I would certainly approach whoever fitted it and ask about a warranty repair. If it's part of the car then none of the above advice concerns or has considered that. Check this, it's important.
