how bad is the split you could always try cleaning it up degreasing it and glueing it see if it holds out

Il try gluing it see if it holds my brother saw it saying it was ripped I asked if it was making any noise he's like no so il
Have a closer look myself i know its 19 years old so it won't be perfect but as long as it passes it not and is road worthy that all that matters

It's always worth replacing/repairing CV gaitors rather than waiting for the CV joint to fail - far cheaper.

Is it an inner or outer gaitor that's split?

Where abouts on the gaitor is it split? I've successfully repaired cuts in them before using a bicycle puncture repair kit, but that only works if the split is on a flat section (not if it's in the bottom of one of the folds).

Il jack it up and see where the rip is I think il just repair it also checked gear box oil seems all nice n clear and red like it should, engine oil seems a little dark but il service it when next mot is due, brother drive it said it drove smooth and good all that he recommends is getting it balanced n tracking as it vibrates as he hit the kerb, I started the prelude and its good no overheating nice n silent clear and few droplets of water I really can't wait to drive it lol hurry up October I want to get this beast on the road, brother recommended alloys but I want to keep it original with the original Hub caps and interior and exterior
