Hi All,
Today had an MOT fail on my 2014 Leaf 24 @ 40k Miles. Was a little surprised because I have only done 6k since last MOT which was around when I bought it.
The description on the refusal sheet says;
Repair Immediately [Major Defect] Suspension arm pin / bush worn excessively
The description on the service / inspection sheet says;
nsf wishbone rear bush separated from housing MOT Fail
osf wishbone rear bush separated from housing MOT Fail
The description on the Quote for Work says;
Part N54501BA60A LINK COMPL-TRAN
Total Parts £143.24
Total Labour £110.50
VAT £50.75
Total 304.49
This is for EACH side so £608.98 in total
I've driven home and will ask my local suppliers and workshop for quotes.
Must admit was somewhat surprised that a suspension item should need replacement at 40k miles? Or am deluded?
I am wondering how much the dealership mark up the parts? The labour is down as £85 / hour + VAT
I have 10 days to get a re-test but have to pay the inspection fee.
Will come back with progress...
