is it worth repairing?
Discussion
Hi everyone
Please can I have your advice and what might you do in my situation?
Basically my car failed it's MOT today and needs a fair bit of work doing to it to pass.
Most expensive being the coil springs which would set me back a few hundred pounds to have fitted.
The car is a little tatty anyway and probably not worth much second hand even if I was to pay out to get it through the MOT.
Apart from that, I have a long list of advisories which may well need fixing in the near future at more cost.
Also it has a mileage of 133,157
I am in 2 two minds whether to pay the repair costs or just cut my losses, sell it as scrap and look for another car,
I'm just interested in what others on here think.
Thank you

just an update....
On further inspection of the headlight it has found that its faulty so I would need a new headlight assembly.
The quote for this and the other things is £550 to get it through the MOT.
The car is only worth £1000 so I think I might cut my losses to be honest.
What do you think?
My elderly dad recently had a fall and damaged his leg and cannot drive at the moment and probably won't be able to in the future.
He said I could have/buy his car off him, a Toyota Yaris.
I would then look to get rid of my car. Thats if I can, as it wouldn't have a MOT.
Has anyone any suggestions please?
