--- Quote from: "Mudlark" ---I believe the wording is "A MOT only guarantees the roadworthyness of a vehicle at the time of testing"

If your tester is honest he will fail everything such as painted wood and stuck on patches so if he issues a certificate then that vehicle is deemed legal.

I presume that if a police constable suspects a vehicle is not legal he still has to issue a ticket to assert that the vehicle will be checked by a MOT station to prove it's roadworthyness

That's the problem your car can look like it's ok to the examiner who can't go scraping the underseal down to bare metal to see if it's a dodgy hidden repair.

But many police officers are traffic examiners. They wouldn't take it to an MOT examiner for his opinion they would sieze it and strip off what they wanted to during an inspection such ar road wheels etc etc.

Cheers hope that clears things up especially if involved in a road accident!!

Mudlark:
And then no doubt the whole thing would be taken to court with an MOT examiner as an expert witness for the defence, the whole thing would go on for months before the CPS offers no evidence - yet another waste of public money

Highlander1:
Aye laddie

But the Procurator Fiscal here does do something about it and believe me you arn't going to waste public money with the PF dealing with things.

Give yer Cps a kick up the kilt. What's worse a guy driving a lethal weapon or a guy who nicks yer stereo think about it.

Prioritories. :?:  :?

Cheers me old mucker H1
