Is anyone aware of any recent changes to the procedure for having a vehicle MOT'd whereby you are required to produce your vehicle documents to the examiner? I've looked on the VOSA website and it makes no mention of this, although my mum swears that she was told to take them in when she booked her car in for tomorrow. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
Total bollocks, I only ever ask for documents after advising a customer that they're needed for post-dating the new certificate, and only then if the customer requires it.
But, that would be the previous MOT certificate though, and not the vehicle documents, would it not? Sounds odd to me, I took my car to a different garage recently and they certainly didn't ask me to provide them. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
I was asked to bring the docco along when I took the Drifter for it's last MOT a month ago. I suspect this is so they can easily read engine and frame numbers, rather than grovelling in the oily filth trying to see the actual. Previously, they've ask me to bring my last MOT cert along.
SP emerged from their own little world to say Does the current MOT has a few days/weeks to run? If this is the case, and you produce the current MOT cert., the new one will be issued for 12 months from the expiry of the current cert. (to a max of 13 months). I suspect this is the document the test centre is referring to.
On the first MOT, after three years, you need to supply the registration document for the post-dating. In any case, they are not required documents in order to carry out the test. No, I think I'd find another garage, there's something fishy here.
Actually, the previous MOT ran out last week (she forgot to book the car in), so there is no need to provide the previous one anyway, AFAIA. I think she's got a tad confused myself, but she swears blind that they want the vehicle docs. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
SP emerged from their own little world to say They all do that. I took my 75 yo old mum for her 6 monthly neuro assesment today. During the standard memory test she told Dr "Hi, I'm Raj" that the current year is 1975.
Zanziba says... I do. I always take the bike there so he can see it, even if I do the test myself with his supervision. I have a feeling this may change with these new regs though. I may as well not take the bike, because he knows that I'd never take a potential failure in to him, I have a 100% pass record on bike Mots over 27 years.
Yes. The ever-more-popular V5 is required, certainly ofr older vehicles when presented for MOT test. There are signs at our usual testing station informing customers of this - apparently it is to do with the new style document and the tester logging in to produce it - the tester will frequently be required to input the exact date of registration of the vehicle, which is always stated on the V5. Nothing fishy gong on, it will be the norm everywhere shortly.
<G> Oddly enough, she is profoundly deaf in one ear, but has good hearing in the other. She's still insisting on taking the docs in though, which I'm not happy with. A quick 'telephone call to confirm' from me should suffice to confirm one way or the other ;o) -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
The vehicle is the same age as my shite Fiat (1998), I wasn't asked for the new V5 when I took mine in for an MOT (at a different station, though), nor was I asked for the new V5 when I took my bike to be MOT'd, which oddly enough is the same age as the cars. And, as someone else pointed out, the *exact* data for the vehicle should be available on the vehicle, that needs to be extracted from, and not a document that has been produced. After all, if the testers were only going to rely on a document that may not relate entirely to the vehicle being MOT'd, whats the point? And, there is absolutely no evidence on the VOSA site that this is a requirement for MOT porpoises, either. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
On my Satan's Chariot the number is on the r/h shock mount. The MOT place that did the Vespa couldn't read the number - it was there but illegible - and asked to see the logbook but as I didn't have it he simply entered "VIN not found". Or at least he would have done if it'd passed.
I don't agree. I've taken a bike for a new type MOT and he didn't require exact dates or the logbook.
