felly100 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Evening chaps. I've got to MOT my truck on Monday. Beforehand however I've got to go and check a load of mole traps on a hill farm and the underside will be clarted with mud. I know it's respectful to clean it,but the timing will be tight,does the chap need underneath to be clear to check brake pipes etc. Thanks. John. Edit. Wrong section,I know.

TaxiDriver Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 YES And if it's not and he's a mind to, they can terminate the test and your forfeit the fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Think they have the right to refuse to test it if too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 If they can't check the underside of the vehicle for rust, leaks etc because of the condition it's presenteditn they can refuse a mot (they did mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil82 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 if its that dirty the tester can`t check things with out major scraping or leaving themselves at risk of any type, they can refuse to test, happens more in the high end test centres as they can`t be ***** cleaning all the **** in the test bay afterwards, refused to test a few times over the years, really its a case of putting over the right attitude, the tester would rather it be dripping water on them than get covered in all sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil82 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 mine too, along with a million air fresheners and other assorted junk hanging off the interior mirror, s'funny what boils your blood isnt it mine is no water in the screen wash, if they can`t be bothered to fill that, what else have they ignored, too many rely on the test as the only care their car/truck gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Never been washed in 4 years as long as underneath is cleaned by driving through puddles.I only was the number plate and lights,oh and my local mot centre don't like spending too much time under the car as it always stings of cow muck.

jonny thomas Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 If they're happy to mot a car/ with a couple of inches of s### on the underside I don't know that I'd describe them as a "good" garage Then again they've got to do what they've got to do after all ive seen a few on here moaning about spending money on their cars but will happily give their rfd or gunsmith thousands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michufc Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 When I was in the trade a chap brought his in and it looked like he had drove through a herd of cows it had blood and guts everywhere mixed with tones of cow muck and the inside smelt like cracking open a old coffin we refused to test due to hygiene reasons and told him if he cleaned it we could do a mot. We never saw him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 anyone know where I can get the chassis steam cleaned on a trooper , MOT due soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a303 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's a pet hate of mine when testing bikes. Always best to turn up with a well presented motor for test. Puts the tester at ease that it's not a **** covered death trap that will come back to bite him later on. Don't blame any tester for turning away any motor that's blathered in muck.
