Title: Well that's me mot testing for the next 5 yrs
Post by: muddydisco on March 05, 2009, 21:07:24: Well I've been on a 2 day refresher :roll: It's changed alot in 5 yrs it's all about minimum standards now. So for you lot who thinks that a motor which as 12 months mot is in good condition think again :roll: If you read on the rear of a vt20 its down to the owner to keep it road legal for the other 364 days of the year :-.

I would hate to think what the bit was like if the mot tester failed it if the standards are that low now!

Post by: Yoshi on March 08, 2009, 11:52:06: The problem is, as much as i can see it, the mot tester can only pass the car on wether it is safe there and then, they cant look at it and say "thats going to fail in 2 weeks" (thats what the advisory is for??)

As am not an mot tester that is just my interpretation, however will be gladly put right on this one! lol

Post by: dreadnought110 on March 08, 2009, 18:31:28: well there is nothing that says you can't test your own vehicle? and you have to ask yourself would you drive it if you knew the axle? etc... was hanging off? personally if i wouldn't pass it i wouldn't drive it!!! :D :D

Post by: beast5680 on March 08, 2009, 21:51:49: thats odd really cos you could be biased testing your own, the guy at work who does loler testing is not allowed to test our yard forklift for that reason, but he is allowed to get one of the other depots to test it
