Citroen Saxo - MOT Fixed or not fixed - Robkyle2000

Last year my car failed the MOT and I had Mr Clutch fix the 3 problems, this year I had a different garage do the MOT and 2 of the 3 problems were last years 'fixed' problems. I can't find the recipt for the work but I can find the MOT's from last years fail and fix. What should I do?

This may be a good place to start to identify what failed last time;www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicle

Depends what the problems were - also depends on how much you paid to have them fixed.

If, for example you had a rusty exhaust that had a hole in it, and they welded on apatch for you for cheap, rather than fitting a brand new exhaust section, then you still had a largely old exhaust on the car.

The devil is in the details, as always

Finding that receipt will be a big help too.
