Keeping it simple
Many new test items have been
introduced this year as a result
of the Testing Directive, but with
no increase to the test fee. As
part of our commitment to keep
the test as simple as possible –
and based on feedback we’ve
received from testers across the
country – we are removing some
items not covered by the Directive
and simplifying others.
Listed in SN 3 – 2012, these
changes will take effect when the
new test items ‘go live’ later this
year. They are:
Shock absorber bounce test
Not required by the Directive, this
part of the test will be removed,
although we will continue to look
at the possibility of introducing
suspension testing equipment
in future.
Roller brake test
Running both wheels together
during the brake test has always
been the norm for ATL brake
testers. We have decided to allow
this for conventional brake test
equipment too, where suitable.
ABS warning light sequence
Also not required by the Directive,
this part of the test will be
removed. The ABS warning light
will continue to fail the test if it
a system malfunction.
The ‘go live’ date
These changes will come in to
effect at the same time as the
Testing Directive additions cease
to become ‘advisory’ and are
adopted as a full part of the MOT
test later this year.
We will continue to look at other
means of test simplification and
keep you informed through
