Both inner CV boots have some cracking present.

Near side inner CV boot small end would benefit from a metal clamp rather than an electrical cable tie,as is the case with the offside outer boot.

Offside headlamp is slightly higher than the near side, but within MOT test parameters.

Offside rear brake calliper would benefit from service and the connecting cable requires losening.

One bulb is inoperative amongst the strip of high level brake lights.

Plastic under-pan has some damage and appears to have possible the back half missing.
