    Bleedin' loads of Tesla's around here anyway. Saw the Tesla cybertruck in the flesh last month, it really does look just like a skip with some dinky car wheels glued to the side

    We've a 2004 Avensis, that just keeps going. It looks like shite, mind, but it just won't quit. Everytime we do the NCT, I secretly cross my fingers it'll get a terminal fail....

    Dents and scrapes shouldn't have any effect on the NCT, unless they're literally hanging off and are causing a hazard. Your damage looks mainly cosmetic, and as long as all doors are opening and shutting properly etc, you should be fine. 700 is a pretty decent price for all that work though 8)...

    Never get it checked before the NCT. Let it fail, find out what's actually wrong, pay for that and then just the 35 extra for the re-test

    THIS REMINDS ME. Couple of years ago, I had a very slow run in with a pillar as I was reversing out a driveway, front left panel just barely caught the corner, but the body work damage was mighty. Shopped around garages in the area and the quotes ranged from 600 or so, up to nearly 2 grand...
