Hi - just wanted to ask about:

- the two MOT failures in Sep and Oct 2025 relating to exhaust emissions - was this anything to do with the works done by BBR and what was done after the Oct 2025 MOT to rectify this for the pass?
- between the Sep and Oct MOTs, the 'nearside front inner road wheel' advisory was no longer listed, however presume this was just an omission from the tester rather than the wheel having been straightened/replaced?

Thank you!

Thank you for the questions.

After the second MoT attempt, remedial work was undertaken on the engine to level the emissions by a local authorised garage.

The nearside wheel tyre was replaced in September 2025 following a "blow-out" and may have temporarily distorted the wheel although tightening of the wheel nuts after this was identified may have resolved the issue, hence not appearing as an issue on the latest MoT test.
As previously reported, the identified "distortions" have not affected the steering or performance of the car.
