7/ o/s/f bump stop "missing" (how did i miss that one?)

Sorry to hear it failed... however

A missing suspension bump stop is not a reason for failure. :?

That should be an advisory.

It's clearly stated in the testers manual under section 2.4 Suspension - General - ''A missing bump stop rubber is not a reason for rejection.''

A missing suspension bump stop is not a reason for failure. :?

If you take the bump stop off the other side they have to pass it, only a failure if one is missing  :?  :shock:

You are correct just read it up and a missing bump stop is not a rejection. Plus the steering stop bolts have never been adjusted and they passed with him last year. Me now thinking i will have to ring up vosa and get them to look at it. but knowing my luck they will inspected it and find a load of faults the other guy missed :x

i know its an arse, but if you do as the rather strict mot tester says, you will have a safer vehicle at the end of it. :?
