• Volkswagen Polo - White fluid under driver side wheel arch 29 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  This morning I set off from my house and after driving for about 2 minutes after I'd driven over a few road humps the car started screeching. At first I though it was the brakes as its been raining quite a lot and the cars been on the drive for a day without having been driven but the car was screeching without applying the brakes. I checked under the bonnet and under the car but couldn't see anything unusual.

• Any - No MOT For Vehicles Over 40 Years Old 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  I'm concerned about these old cars coming on to the road without any kind of compulsory safety inspection. I realise that modern emissions criteria and brake efficiency tests can't be applied to older vehicles. A major question is what construction and usage regs will apply? I recall older cars having no or one brake lights from new and only one headlight opeating on dip.

• MOT History 27 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    I checked on its MOT history and looking at one failure (major central exhaust, horn not working,  another with advisories on tyre close to legal limit, brake pads worn and other brake problems.  Between one failure ( two days before expiry) and pass car had done 350 miles three weeks later.  Would appear to have been driven without MOT.  The one owner would appear to have neglected care as soon as out of warranty.

I have checked the basics like brake fluid, pads etc. Another problem which is connected with the ABS light is that it doesn't illuminate when the ignition is first turned on.
• E Class 270 Cdi - Looking at buying E 270 CDi 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Had a look at the car this afternoon and had a test drive it has been very well looked after cosmetically. Checked all the Mot's from the last 6 years or so their was an advisory regarding brake pipe corrosion. their was a receipt for new brake pipes pads and discs from last year so I guess that's sorted. It's done 92000 miles up till now, I'm wondering if their is anything else to look out for.

• Audi A3 1.9 TDI - Shudders at speeds over 65 mph 10 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  I've got copies of the history from the fleet company and DPF and cambelt have been replaced on schedule. Within a week of buying it a slight shudder was happening over 60 mph and the brakes were knocking too. The garage replaced the warped brakes straight away and a few weeks later all 4 tyres were replaced - garage was saying that the back tyres had been worn in a way that was causing the vibration.
