Could`nt agree more mate. Just had our astra mot`d and it went down on corroded brake pipes which i felt wern`t that bad but i replaced them,( across the back of the front subframe and a right bitch to do) then took the zed into the same place wondering what he might find as he`s obviously very particular and it went through without any advisories.
It was done by the same mechanic as well and when he came into the office to sort the paperwork he said `that motor is spot on mate` so i felt well chuffed.
