MOT failure - what next?
Discussion
Our old Passat failed her MOT today. 53 plate, 1.9TDI 130, estate (auto). 150k miles
Garage reckons about £700 to fix. Work includes new drive shaft (something to do with cv joints - I think).
She's been a good old girl - but at £700........
Sold to a scrappy I guess she'd be worth nothing. What is the best way to sell her with no MOT?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the input chaps. Very helpful and also amusing
I'll call a couple of other garages on Monday and see what they say.
A bit of history about the car. I bought the Mrs a newer car last spring, and we've lazily left the Passat on the drive since then. Shame on us - I know! The Passat has been in the family since 2006 and proved to be totally reliable. I know she's not a desirable car - but the Mrs and I are sentimental about her - hence I wanted her up and running and sold on to a good home (and not a scrap yard!)
