New MOT done on my 08 plate Ford Focus. Same test location, despite putting 15,000 miles on it one of the nearside rear tyre has improved in condition (less bald) and all the corrosion has sorted itself out.

If that is not an indication of my superb mechanical sympathy I don't know what is.

Different MOT tester?
You should probably get that tyre changed now.

Be careful, don't shout. There is a danger you will become the patron saint of banger/shed drivers. They'll be queuing up outside for you to rub their wing mirrors. Perform a miracle, heal their rust, make their door seals soft and supple again, reduce the slop in their ball joints.

Your garage or driveway will become a place of pilgrimage.

People will collect the brake dust and weeping engine oil from your car for its healing properties.

Your look will be expected to renew brake pads. Your breath will be rumoured to remove musty interior smells. Your touch will be expected to heal Cat D write offs.

Now, maybe you want to be canonised, but it's a lot of work, I've heard.
