The discovery of a missing prop shaft half way through an MOT would not lead me to change the test class on the Navara mentioned in this thread, I would be inclined to pass and advise in this circumstance . Any further guidance would be welcome from the DVSA or official publication produced by them.

There's a huge gap between those who have read it, and those who understand it.

I take your point stealth. In fact quite a few times I've had to, er, re-learn the criteria to avoid testing a class I'm not authorised to!
But honestly and just between us on here does it really make sense for extra checks to be carried out or not carried out based possibly on the size of a rear window or how many wheels are driven?
I think that with all the other changes we've had in the last 7 months or so this was a golden opportunity missed to simplify things.

I won't pretend I'm a saint and that I would have started again to change the test class, but I can't help thinking that's what would be expected as technically the vehicle described would no longer be dual purpose.
