Shock Absorber Shock with MOT

[Cotswold Pete]

LS just failed MOT

What is shocking is last MOT was when I had both rear shocks replaced with OEM.

Makes no sense that only 1500 miles later one of them is leaking.  Had to apologies to mechanic for my choice of words, but it was different garage I used last year (but they mucked up on some other items -so using some one highly recommended this time).

Have ordered a new shock (1 week wait) and have asked a Lexus Swindon as to what they are going to do, as seems like unit must be faulty.

A pain, otherwise the old lady would have sailed through.

I suppose it could be faulty manufacturing, anyone’s guess these days where the stuff is made!

Hopefully covered by some sort of warranty given the age and mileage done on it.
