   where are you located ? . . .
   
   i failed a vts in work last week, rear axle, cat, tyres, headlights (actual headlights not bulbs) and a few small other things.
   46k on the clock...
   
   i offered to replace the axle - they went with no id rather have it rebuilt, we can only source OEM parts, its costing a fortune!
   
   offered to sell it though for 300 quid.

    you can get a replacement beam for £100, fit it in an hour or so.
    
    and a brand new cat can be had for under £100.
