Having owned my A6 2.5tdi quattro for nearly a year and spending quite a bit on it already to do various bits and bobs, I have had the news back from my local VAG garage that to get it through the MOT it is needing £830 spending on it, the majority of which relates to:

Rear Axle bush block and bushes totalling some £380 + VAT for the parts alone and another 4 hours labour!!!!

What to do, should I scrap it or get it done, the car is pretty good alround, with 156k on the clock and fairly neat and tidy but a few scrapes etc.

What does anyone think?

I reckon the car might be worth £1,500 with an MOT so should I get it done or sack it and scrap it and move on to something else?

Any opinions on scrap value?
