When posting on this thread Dangerous MOT Faults and Fails, could all posters who present evidence please attach it and give reference to the method of inspection and reason for rejections of the current Testing Manual(s), then we can link this thread in the EU consultation documentation.

This way the DfT and the EU can look if they wish at the real evidence and using the correct method of inspection and reasons for rejection, which I would hope some of them already know, they can compare the evidence to the reg's and make possitive decisions based on our input.

Thanks.

Modified typo my friend (fails not failes)

I would have thought it would be obvious without having to reference right back to the manual. The latest consultation isn't about what we've seen and items that have scared us.

This thread is not about the EU or consultations - it's all about sharing some things that we've seen in our days. EU and consultation matters go in their own specific area.

While I agree with you Baz, I also initially thought that the purpose of setting a thread up with this title would benefit the MOT Trade by giving real evidence to the EU via a link to this site, that might help those people in DfT and the EU based on what we see each day, rather than just using their own ideas?

The DfT have provided a pre-formatted spread sheet to complete and return spanners, unfortunately without provision to add any images.

We can't add any images as attachments or external links due to Government firewalls etc so we'll just have to keep them here for testers to peruse
