I have an inpending mot coming up, I`ve got the usual arches rust, one in particular has holes the size of a fifty pence piece, if I tape it over for the mot do you think it might pass, I`m a little unsure on these issues, thanks in advance, \Steve

No sharp edges allowed, so a bit of tape and it will be fine :D

thanks Andy, I`ve been meaning to get them sorted but the recent weather put a stop to those plans and before I knew it the dreaded mot is due, tape it is then
