Have to go into the passenger side to lock the door.
Or is this costly to fix?

Just make sure all locks are open on the day so they can check the all seat belts.......they don’t press the open/close button on the key fob.
But if one of the doors actually won’t open during the test then you are fooked.
Exactly. All doors must open & close from the outside, whether they lock or not is irrelevant in regards to the test

That sounds great then. Hopefully it will make it through. This will be the last year before changing so don't want to put loads of money into it.

Trading in the car question.
2nd hand dealer on the Naas Road.

2nd hand car costs €15,000
They will give me €5,000 for mine.
So net cost to me is €10,000

How much bargaining can you do?
At that cost/range is a couple of hundred euro the most you can get off the net cost?
Or should I be looking for €500 or more of a further discount?

€500 off should be achievable

I didn't have to worry about the central locking not working after all.
It was the 8 dangerous, 5 mayors and 3 advisory that failed me. Corrosion everywhere basically.
Even got one of them stickers put on the windscreen, was if they were trying to shame me.
So looks like the hunt for a new car starts now.

I advise the Thersa May method of negotiating.  Keep looking for more concessions even when you've been told that's their final offer.  Then tell them you and the missus will have a vote on it.  Then come back a few days later asking for a guarantee for 6 months as a backstop.  When you achieve this tell them you need to go back to the wife to have another vote on it.  Drag this out for 2 yrs or so going back and forth and eventally they will cave into your demands just to get rid of you.

I assume the car is more than 10 years old and passed the NCT last year. So how in the space of a year has it deteriorated so much? LOL

What was the damage in the end?

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

You’d be amazed how quickly rust can deteriorate once it sets in.

Could be anything from wheel balancing to a dodgy wheel bearing to brakes sticking

Yeah it passed the test last year. 20 years old this year.
Had some bodywork issues last year but seemed very minor in comparison to this.
