MOT Testing (Pre - MOT Tests)

You can check a vehicle over without logging it on for test any time you like . I won't do it . They gonna get charged my hourly rate which is more than what I charge for a test . Cheaper for them to pay me to do an actual test .

They can't carry their own business properly so they sure as fcuk are not going to tell me how to carry out mine. 

I don't dispute that for one minute but I take exception to DVSA telling us what is good practice when they they point blank refuse to admit they have made a mistake in many area's. 

The covid extensions should surely put an end once and for all to the 4-4-2 idea . I bet they string out publishing the failure rate for vehicles that either got close to the end of it's extra six months or it's owner actually let it run out . Had one in today . 04 Punto with expanding foam filler sills . He knew it was scrap . He should have saved himself the test fee and not wasted an hour of my life . Yesterday was a 57 Focus that I failed as I did my walk round .The question afterwards about if he covered the holes with tape will I pass it you don't want to hear the answer to . From halfway backwards below the rear doors there wasn't any sills on both sides . Just holes . 2000 Saxo passed with two minors . 98 3 series was solid but the welds on the new section of the exhaust where the cat should be let it down . as did the lack of rubber in the front suspension arm rear bushes . Iveco Daily with a missing handbrake cable and it's intended new replacement on the passenger seat is a fail too . 'I'm gonna mend it this weekend' ain't a promise I will accept as a reason to pass their scrapheaps .
