Default MoT time - keeper or a binner???

The 100 quattro MoT is out on April 18th.

It will need (at least):
1 rear wheel bearing
1 rear suspension top mount
1 front suspension top mount
exhaust rubbers
handbrake cable
possible 1 front CV joint

In addition, it needs:
the ISV problem sorting if it doesn't pass the MoT on emissions (reference my dodgy ISV bypass with a 15mm plumbing valve)
bomb replacing - I have a spare
exhaust rear silencers look a bit "flaky" at the front and rear welds on each of the silencers
Fuel filter changing (the nuts are tight and I tried it but it wouldn't budge)
spark plugs changing - I will do this job
tyres are at 3mm all round so need changing in next couple of months

Car has done 135k miles, I have done 25k since I bought it, mainly trouble free.

The price of the above will probably be in the hundreds of pounds, at what point do I say "enough is enough"???

I have up to £700 to do the whole lot, I think "better the devil you know", if I bought another car for £700, it could be a can of worms.


And the most important thing is, I love driving the 100 quattro. Needs a bit more "welly", but it is mega smooth at motorway speeds, and that sounds is amazing.

I need a big estate so when the Caravelle is being serviced, my wife can use mine for kids and pushchairs etc.
