failed twice on the same tyre
does he not understand SAFETY ?

Biennial MOT tests
- Thread starter JonRGV250
- Start date
They get a check every shift with levels tyres lights etc every 12 hours at shift handover. But generally serviced every 4 weeks at most
Some of our bigger stuff is getting down to almost a fortnight between 10k services in the summer
Same car, both front tyres were bulged.
There were 2 child seats fitted as well!
I wonder how many drivers actually check the inner sidewall of their tyres?
I know people check the outer sidewall because I see plenty of cuts and flaps of rubber (from kerb/pothole damage) super glued to hide exposed cords (like that’s going to make it safe again
).
I don't think I would want to be that near to that tyre..Reminded me of this thread.
No , retread it.
You would hope the police would refer the centre to the relevant body or even go around themselves and have a word.

Some more daftness..
Speed sensor wires greased (why?)..
Outer sheath of handbrake cables greased (why?)..
Anthing but covering the actual brake pipes in grease (they failed due to corrosion).
Typical Clio (not a failure).
I could have snapped in half any of that with little effort..
I have absolutely no idea how someone has managed to route the brake hose like that, but it isn't good, and won't be long until it's worn through..
And this slightly crash damaged Kia.
The OSR trailing arm (how it should look)..
and the slightly bent NSR arm.
It must have been interesting to drive the car like that, just look at the wear on the tyre..
And finally a slighty worn brake disc.
Which passed the efficiency test (it's not hard to), but failed on condition..
Mental.

With that above video re MOT, I was under the impression not just the tester, but the company they represent who has a license to MOT can also get into problems? Is this not the case and it's only the tester who becomes liable?

Drift king yo!Bet this is fun in the wet. This was in traffic, being used. Not a care in the world.

It boggles my mind how people can let their vehicles get in such a state. That Nissan is most likely less than ten years old. I can only imagine what their houses are like.

@JonRGV250 Do you guys have to take extra safety precautions when testing EV's? Common sense would say yes but I was just wandering if any extra steps are mandatory.
None whatsoever, no reason to.
I’ve been on enough training courses with Toyota/Lexus to know that it’s almost impossible to harm yourself when working on them.
The only difference MOT wise is there’s no emissions test (same goes for hybrids).
