Offside Headlamp not in good working order adversely affecting beam image (1.2.4a)

Offside Rear Rear position lamp(s) excessively deteriorated so that it is not visible from a reasonable distance (1.1.A.3d)

Front tyres are of size 185/65/14, however rear tyres are 185/60/14. This would be a MOT failure if these sizes were mixed on the same axle. Would advise all tyres are kept to one size.

Nearside Door Mirror missing- although minimum requirement of a centre & offside mirrors are met

Nearside Front Direction indicator slightly discoloured (1.4.A.2f)
