Loose front bumper - 13mm spanner mate
No internal rear view mirror - 25p sticky pad and 2 mins, if you need a mirror, might be £3 from the scrappy
Worn CV joint, the boots are fine but its noisey when driven/turning - didn't think an MOT testers gonna be driving it

loose front bumper shouldnt fail as long is it isnt too bad.
rear view mirror doesnt matter as long as you have 2 wing mirrors
cv joints dont matter - its boots that matter

I know he wont be driving it, but dont they check for play when the wheels are off the ground? the bumper should be sorted, the screws that secure it in the wheel arch had come out, just put a couple of flat nut's and self tappers in. the mirror is in the drivers door bin 
which is where i put it when it fell off, but i thought seeing as small vans dont need em does mine? saves me bodging it back on when i dont have too eh?

the bumper is sorted anyway so the other 2 probs can fuck off

i'm sorry to correct you but you can fail a worn c.v. joint i will find the correct wording tomorrow if you want
what you do with the car on a ramp with the wheels on the ground you grab the drive shaft and try to twist it , you allowed for wear and tear but excsessive movment is a fail .
i'm prity sure on that one ??

yup a cv joint will fail
the front bumper will also fail it it's too loose
and the interior mirror will also fail if you only have 1 wing mirror
