Read the MOT section in the haynes manual. I usully put cars in to see what they fail on you then have about two weeks to sort it, the garage should do the retest for free then.

Hand break cable and rear wheel bearings every other year

Check the rubber CV joint boots for splits before. If the garage is short of work they may split these for you, it happened to me, the bastards.

wheel bearings very common, bottom ball joints too, and usual stuff like headlight alignment, tyres & lights.
my single wiper passed in march though, with no probs.
and welding will be your main problem.

My Nova has recently failed on CV boots, corrosion near both front struts, corrosion near drivers side rear wheel and out of balance rear drum brakes.
