- more worryingly are the brakes I nearly crashed today and got the car home I had a quick look to see that a Few brake lines are held together by electrical tape and one has pissed the fluid out at te rear! Also the tyres have a few issues ( tread is fine but there's a split in two again at the back and couldn't be seen without week removal. It was MOT'd the day before aswell!

I have a mechanic coming to check it all over but where do I stand with this?

I looked online an what should I do do inreport the mot station as to me it's a " mates mot" and shoul I contact to popo go selling a unroadworthy dangerous car?

Hope all the above makes sense and is clear! I checked the car over but there's limits to what I can see on a driveway!

Any help be great

Thanks
Oggy
