well happy

by ytsrik » Wed Oct 10, 2012 12:11 pm

took the old girl for the mot today and after a nail biting 40 mins the guy handed me the pass certificate with big grin on his face! he took it up road and was impressed with power and handling great car he said and i cant even find an advisory on it 16 years old and flies through better than some modern stuff to say im a happy chappy today would be an understatement!!!

4x4 and cars with a LSD should be road tested as you cant use the brake roller for brake testing...unkess you can disable the 4x4 or LSD or they have a very expensive roller set up

Road Testing

The statutory test does not specifically include a road test of the vehicle, except for vehicles which cannot have the performance of the brakes tested on a roller or plate brake tester.

A road test, however, is permitted if the tester considers one is necessary to check the results of an inspection. The tester must be qualified to carry out the road test, and must ensure it is safe to conduct that test

Hmm, sorry then, i was sure a road test was part of the MOT....all of my cars that have been through MOT have been road tested anyway.
