Yeah, I can vouch for that. My freshly MOTed 635 came with a 500+ quid bit of structural welding.

Did you follow up with the MOT Inspectorate &/or the seller?

Dodgy MOT stations can be reported. In theory MOT stations are policed very strictly. Passing a rotten car is defeats the purpose of the MOT test surely. Is the 635 in question still with you?

Philip, where did you get that from? Im sure I've seen that car before.

The registration number rings a bell.
If you've got it, a lorry brought it.

Be warned guys, MOT's on cars can be faked as Rob details above. Do your own MOT checks when you view a car F/S, even a cheapie, to avoid nasty shocks later on

If you've got a spare E23 towbar lying around, I think "robs_e23" will bite your hand off!
