Pitted forks

Rub with wd40, still bad knock edges off with bit of wood or something, still rubbish (in area of travel) have seen araldite employed. If all else fails rechrome.

Long as it's not leaking/ too dodgy around seals would think it'll be fine

I MOT cars and unless the seal is leaking on the day of the test I would pass it .... as long as the damping effect is still ok .

Ah so if one fork is totally shagged then just make sure there is no oil in that side

Ask Binky, his forks are so furry they are called Tiddles...

I suppose it may be different on bikes but on cars you would advise on the pitted component but you can't fail it because it looks like it might start leaking fluid in the future .... you are only to check /test components as they are presented on the day ..... if there was no oil in one leg it would fail on lack of damping effect ...
There are lots of grey areas on mot tests ... for instance if you failed a car for faulty wipers or washers .. if they took it round the corner & took the windscreen out you would then have to pass it !!!
