Replacement pipes

Certainly inadequately clipped in place and the ones at what I take to be the rear will vibrate and rub through over time. It's a bit hard to tell from the video but I would say a fail on those grounds. All in all a very poorly executed repair.

Edited:- GAZ's post crossed with mine and, of course he's right that the pipe doesn't necessarily have to be in every clip but it does have to be adequately supported. I would say these undoubtedly aren't but a video is no susbstitute for having the car on a ramp.

have to say it looks like a pretty sh1t job,hard to be certain without seeing it in the flesh but you couldn't complain at anyone failing for inadequate clipping,have to say that with a few cable ties etc you would probably be forced to p+a...

The pipes look like they could off just been pulled out by a disgruntled purchaser of the vehicle it doesnt look like the best of repairs but what was it like at time of test as peter said what is the background to the story.

What the evidence tells me is that the mot test does not come into it, unless it has passed like that, then its another story. The car has had new pipes fitted and they should have been fitted to the vehicle manufacturer recommendations, a pipe clip missing here and there is no excuse, this is not an mot inspection, it is not a minimum standard to be looked at, it is indeed a repair service carried out very poorly indeed. I think I have said this many times before, a repair is not completed to the mot minimum standard, it is carried out to the vehicle manufacturer recommendations, clearly not in this example. 

A really good example to show the MP's why we need to be fully licensed and trained mechanics in the UK. Mechanics are supposed to put safe vehicles on the road, unless the repairs were completed by the general public with the aid of a workshop manual, in which case the evidence shows we need to stop the public repairing their own vehicles.
