I have done some research and seems like you have to replace the whole thing even if it's just a £2 bit of rubber so it's going to cost me. Also both my lights are too low so it failed for that too.

Didn't even mention or put as advisory my wipers which I'm shocked about.

The guy at Kwik thick are going to ring me tomorrow to give me a quote

I just googled about this and a lot of people say you are just best of to replace the whole arm as replacing just the dust cover is hard itself. It’s annoying I reckon they’ll probably quote you about £300ish. I mainly hope tho that they’re not scamming you or anything cause I always hear that Kwik Fit look for issues with peoples cars when there’s actually nothing wrong just to get money out of people.

I dread MOT’s but I’m fortunate enough to have a good BMW Indy specialist near me and they’re always really helpful.
