Ford Transit Exhaust pipe.

That is what i did its not a very good idea.

Is this the exhaust tail pipe ending halfway down the vehicle?
Had my first one the other day ( except that it was a Vauxhall Vivaro ) what a strange idea, can't really think of a reason for it!
Called the dealer in the end to check it wasn't missing half the system as exhaust hangers were still welded to the body😀

I've not had one of these in yet so I can't really picture it.
But even if it is a struggle to get at I can't agree with "just doing a visual"! Surely refusing to test would be a better way if you really can't get the probe in?
Although they'd probably just take it somewhere else and get a ticket!

I've noticed this recently on the fleet of new style Movanos we maintain. Thankfully we only test class 4 so its no big problem for me, but I would think with the recent changes in emissions the manufacturer will have it all sorted and it will not show any emissions from the tailpipe under test.
