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.

£700 for a driveshaft seems steep! What else did it fail on?Garage reckons about £700 to fix. Work includes new drive shaft (something to do with cv joints - I think).

They're pretty cheap, but I'd argue on the 'good' bit.http://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/search.php?search_q...
Good is another matter entirely, in fact, after dealing with their customer service, I refuse to use them at all any more, for anything, they're terrible.
Anyway, you need a new pair of front springs fitting too, so that explains some of the bill, they're taking the mickey a bit with the price of that driveshaft though.
