just a quick question, just lately ive noticed that my suspension has been getting a bit noisey(although this might just be me getting parrinoid as the mot is in 2weeks and driving the misses dads volvo which is supper smooth) over certain bumps. Just wondered if anyone with similar milage has had similiar mines got 80k on the clock

similar to mine, its a leaking shock absorber, its covered under warranty, a dealership will try to say its not, so just call up customer services, and they sort it out

Take it for the MOT anyway, if it's faulty enough to fail they will fail you. If not it's a result :) and you can get it done later

Well it passed the mot woith just 3 advisories!!!

1. Cracked front number plate
2. n/s/f track rod end ball joint has a small amount of play in
3. o/s/f top mount slightly loose and let alot of dirt in so making a slight noise
