MOT Question / appeal

(1/4) > >>

offroading.net:
Uncles Jeep has failed on a badly worn UJ in the front axle, tester said "it was dangerous to drive it is so worn".
Just taken a look and it is fine, Jeep has done 66k miles, and has no visable wear on the UJ, zero play and no noise on full lock (will have a good look tomorrow in daylight). Said garage has a bit of a reputation shall we say, He has always been honest with me on the MOT's but this one isn't right.
So what do i do, jeep needs MOT before monday. Do I appeal or just go elsewhere and get another test done then appeal afterwards??

Guardian.:
are you sure you are looking at the correct joint?
get him to show you the unsafe play.
then if hes takin the.... get a big bar and swing it about a lot.

xmob:
Does he not mean the prop shaft UJ, rather than the CV joint?

I have checked the UJ he saaid to my uncle it was, thing is they talked him into them fixing it for him next week and kept the fail sheet. I am off there tomorrow to get the sheet and have words.
