At 77,000 miles, you're only 1/5th into it's life span. Have you
inspected the PCV first? It can suck oil vapor like crazy if it sticks
open. Not displaying a 'Check Engine' light? Has somebody overfilled the
oil, or maybe you've got gasoline in your oil? (leaky injector) You need
to look into MANY diagnostic questions before asking about 'scrapping'.
MOT is Ministry of transport, right? What's RAC? You have to interpret
for the 90% non-Britts.
