I have never been asked to show a emission or brake print out from a previous test has anyone else ?
I dont see the point of keeping the results .
we make judgements on every other part of the car when testing without back up or proof of the result.
must cost thousands for waste every day.

It isn't an issue, but some folk have made a statement that was wrong and now want to turn it into a best practice debate.

I don't see it as wrong to quote the Manual, which clearly states that the brake results should be printed off.

What IS wrong in my opinion is that DVSA gives no further information as to what should be done with the things once they've been printed off, hence the best practice reference.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !

Fine if you said that, but that's not what you said, this is:

ATL sites should brake test in automatic mode and keep a printed brake test result for 3 months.

Only when it was questioned did you and others start talking about best practices. Anyway if you've asked dvsa we'll see what they say. I've asked them a separate question about the testing detail info being wrong, so hopefully (we can but pray) we'll get a definitive answer to both questions.

yup,our (or my)last spot check,the guy doing it seemed unhappy that the test results etc all seemed ok,his next step was to make sure we had 3mnths of emissions prints and then started checking thru em to make sure we had been measuring temps/speeds etc.didnt stop him deathing the smoke test out on the motor he was spot checking on the grounds it would take too long tho.....
