Its that time again 
Last year no problems.
This year made up for it 
2x front tyres
front lower arm bush
rear wheel bearing
new discs and pads.
Repairer took the car in at 0800, and the whole job was completed by 11.30. All ford parts. Total £500.
Some might say thats a bit steep, but the rest of the car is in good nick, and it would cost me more than that to get a replacement of the same spec.
The only thing needed now is to cure the slight cill corrosion, and replace the sliding roof motor (if I ever get round to it!) Hope to make Badgers Mount later when the weather improves. happy new year. Fred

If I spend less on getting a car through an MOT than the amount a similar spec new car would depreciate in a year then I'm happy

Yup. The way I look at it is if I spend £500 to get a car through an MOT then that's £500 spent on making the car better.
However, an MOT pass but £1000 on depreciation on a new Mondeo is wasted money and the Mondeo doesn't get any better.

Took my 24v this morning, slightly worried but no need as she passed no problem.
Happy days (at least for another year)
Tony
