7month late mot re-test

[drinksoptional]

well i finally got the mot fails done and its booked for 11:30 am tomorrow it should pass as i done all the fails. It will be a full re-test though.

can he fail me on what he said was an advisory this time? i will get them done over the next months as money and time permits

[FUDDY MUCKER]

yea, a full retest should be done, as the vehicle was driven away from the test centre and the work was carried out by someone other that the garage that performed the MOT, also taking into account seven months have past. Things like corrosion or siezed brakes etc, can obvisiously happen over that peroid of time.

As for advisories, thats exactly what they are, an advisory to what the mot tested spotted on the day of the mot that in his or her opinion may require remedial work over the course of the period of the mot.

Guarantee, if you where ti take it straight to another garage after it's first mot, the second garage would not list the same advisiories.

And dont forget, as it says on your mot certificate, the car was only upto the standards require by law at the time of inspection, and may not nessessarily mean the car will continue to be so during the next twelve months.

I know thats what worries me Im hopig he is ina good genreous mood, the front bearing needs tightend and misting from rear shocker was the main advisory i gonna replce the rear shocks next month , the bearing im gonna attempt to sort next week unless this guy says no then im going to have too do it. I kept forgetting and saying i do it next day etc it may bite me in the bum now. Hoping the water bottle defrosted and the washer pump starts working again

thats sort of a lie i was not confident in doing the bearing an put it off

to be honest fella i don't think he'll take the previous test into account as it was so long ago, he'll have to test it on what condition it is now(seven months on) and in fact other things might now be an issue that were'nt seven months ago good luck anyway fella hope it passes
