Rear Anti Roll Bar
Range Rover Blues:
--- Quote from: "biggerlandy" ---hi youcan take it off and leave it off if its not on for mot it can not be tested. items such as those are only mot able if on car, i am a mot tester/mechanic
--- End quote ---
I asked my mate who is trainer/QC guy for a local garage and MOT place, he is in agreement.
If it's fitted it must work, if it's not fitted it can't be tested. Anyone who says otherwise needs to learn their job.
You must tell your insurance, who probably won't care as it'll make you slow down :)
There is no code on the new MOT system for "anti roll bar removed and not replaced", bit of a giveaway really.
littlepow:
MOT test book clearly states that an antiroll bar must be fitted to the vehicle if it was original spec.
Although the problem for the MOT center, is proving you had one in the first place.
spinkster:
agreed.............if the roll bar was fitted as standard on your model it must be present and servicable when presented for an MOT
biggerlandy:
when idid my course things like that i was told are a pass but advise
Les Henson:
I was at an MOT station today and asked the owner/tester about this. He said that if an anti-roll bar was fitted at the factory then it has to be present at the MOT test. If it's not there then it will fail under the 'unable to test' rule.
