MOT upcoming - should I be worried?
Wolf’s have started to look tatty as hell. MOT is due start of September. Should I be worried about the likelihood of these being an issue come test time? I’ve pictured the worst one.

they won't fail on a "cosmetic" issue but obviously if they are corrosion compromised then for your own safety as well as MOT's then they need to be correct

I’d just prep and give them a quick prime and satin black, if not perfect they’ll be protected for when you’ll be able to do a tidier job at a later date if you wanted. ____\We|Will|Win/___
