MOT not a pass, nor a fail!

(1/4) > >>

Matt_H:
well it didn't pass :(  interestingly it didn't fail either.
 
I went away as requested and came back 40 minutes later.  They said they aborted the test as it was too muddy underneath!  It's not that muddy!  Of course I can't actually wash it because of the hose pipe ban (no I'm not using a bucket)
 
Anyway they also said it would fail on
Hazard lights not working
Headlight O/S Not working
Fog light not working
Number plates too small

(at that stage they abondoned the test)
 
Grrrrr
 
Not sure if they were being nice and did that not to charge me or not but I guess I've got some work to do now!  I stopped off at another place and they said they would test it though.

Matt_H:
oh anyone know the number plate size law (plates are right size but I think numbers may be a bit small - car came with them)

Wolfie:
All the necessary info will be here, or nearby.

Eeyore:
Sadly, they are perfectly at liberty to refuse to test a mucky motor - it's your duty to present it in a clean condition apperently.

I've had mine turned away on more than one occasion because of this - once after 2 hours with a trowel and jet wash!

Cheers

Take it to a garage with a jetwash.  You can still do it there, because that's commercial use.  Even though the commercial washer will use loads more water.
