New game mini

Sorry if this is a stupid question but.. A 'borderline' advisory on MOT, is it borderline fail or borderline OK? Ta :)

    Thanks guys, I have an advisory and next to it is 'borderline' I just wondered what this meant

    The advisory is corrosion near subframe Mount but I can't see it myself to be honest that's why I'm wondering if it means very early stages

    i guess its as the saying goes, someone is only going to pay what they want to pay. I didn't even have it offered for sale which is the funniest thing

Still can't believe how much the brakes have improved since taking the FAM7821 out of the system.

It's time to accept that old cars don't work as a daily driver, especially if it's your only car.

    I disagree, my mini's my only car, commutes every day. Have to agree that it's a fair bit of maintenance though!

    I think that's important. If the Mini was restored to a high standard and the weekly/monthly checks are done, it will be fine.
    My problem was I didn't do part 1, the car was never decommissioned and given a full resto, so sometimes parts seem to fail in succession, making me rather disheartened.

    That said, as stated above, it's such a fun daily driver and it's getting easier to fix things when they break... for now.
