So in summary, it’s not anything to really be concerned about then?
I didn’t want a car that I can’t drive on the road 
No, just find a friendly MoT tester. PM those local to you for info
Just to answer the questions on the MOT fails, my Exige has the decat pipe as part of the 190 update. I get the servicing and MOT done by Rapid Mechanical Services in Romford. They submit the car for MOT, see if anything needs doing do it, then bring the car back, fix any faults found, fit a donor cat and resubmit it when it passes. They then refit the decat pipe.
Has anyone tried webuyanycar or wewantyour car? I got offered £25456 from wewantyour car for mine. Its getting close to current prices.
My neighbour could not sell his Maserati and took a deal from webuyanycar which was better than the trade in, his private price or any dealer. It broke down immediately after they signed the paper work and handed over the money.
Sad day - my car has now sold and I’ve just delivered to it’s new owner. It will be going to Japan to a collector.
Shame, well done though. Feels good it’s going to a place where you’ll know it’ll be looked after.
