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.
Its a Mini.

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.

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).
Thank you. I'm taking it back to the garage on Monday to see if they'll sort out the exhaust bracket without charge seeing as they fitted it last year.
