Brake pipes not sufficiently clean ?? Mine are covered in Dinitrol to prevent corrosion. Not sure what your tester would make of that.
Handbrake is simple enough. Fuel leak should be relatively simple to find and fix. Ball joints can be easy but if rusted in you might do better to buy the complete arms. The rubber bushes I found simple enough but again, it can be easier to buy the whole arm with new bushes. The key to an easy life with suspension matters is a good trolley jack & axle stands (or access to a ramp), some good hammers, a decent ball joint splitter and occasionally a strong blowlamp.
Picky sod pulling you up on headlamp washers though. I've never even seen them test mine, especially the Skoda. They haven't worked since I bought the car in Jan 14 and it's never failed so far. The worst I've had was an advisory for a misty shock absorber so it clearly wasn't a series of drive-by MOTs.
