Default Will it pass MOT

Hiya,

I was wondering if this little problem will pass the MOT.

There is a 10p size rust hole on the top right hand corner of the bonnet (Just b4 the bonnet joins) and someone said it wouldnt pass the MOT with it there...

(PICTURES BELOW)

Is this True?

it will pass anyway....no need to clag it up...

the bonnet is not structural,and will not adversly effect steering or braking ,its not a jagged edge as its a top surface.

anyway fibre glass isnt an adequate repair,unless he was going for jagged edge...which its not

There is something else I need to ask you then.. I brought the car yesterday from my neighbour she just about to give me the Reg form etc but in the Log book i noticed there is a old MOT VT20 that run out last year. but no the lastest... I went on the VOSA website and put the old VT20 number and reg and said there is a later VT20 but dont have it... Where can I get one from.... Only becasue I am still a learner Driver and I have more change getting pulled over lol

the garage that tested it can issue you a duplicate vt20 if you know where it was done.....

or go into your local vosa station,and they can recall the data for you...
