mot

Well just had 2nd .ot done on van at kwikfit. Got 4 advisories on springs for modified but not seriously weakened........because there lowering springs? Out of 20 odd years of driving and every motor being lowered that is the first time I've had an advisory for that. Won't be taking kwikfit...

Hi, I have a 2018 T6 Highline and today it failed it's MOT relating to the front suspension. I'm no expert, so trying to find the best path to solve the problem and hoping people can advise. To my knowledge and experience, the van was absolutely fine and I never noticed any strange driving...

One of my rear seatbelts in my Kombi snags slightly on a shelf unit and retracts very slowly or needs retracted manually. Other than that it works as it should and locks etc when it has to. My question is whether or not this is an MOT fail? The unit can be modified so the belt works as it...

Hi All, there is new MOT guidance for motorcycle saying that bulb replacement is now an automatic failure (but not if the whole unit is replaced on an MC) and I see that it is the same with the car & pax vehs MOT manual at 4.1.4. Compliance with requirements, stating: "Existing halogen...

Van went for its MOT & service yesterday.... got the dreaded call from VW it’s failed the MOT snapped rear coil spring!

Hi All, Heads Up for those with upcoming MOTs. Had my MOT carried out at VW Dealers and failed because of new criteria for LED lights. They have to be autolevelelling and have wipers(layman’s explanations). I’m sure there are experts here who will provide the official bit. Will be replacing...

Hi there, Van passed it's first MOT yesterday, but with an advisory that both front bushes were worn but not resulting in excessive movement. Can someone let me know if this is something I need to get done quickly (about to have new set of tyres if that makes a difference)? The van is not...

Hi all, do to have to refit my rear seats in my kombi for an mot...??? Cheers.

I’m looking at getting the van MOT’d in the coming days and wondered if I should change the HID’s I’ve fitted back to the original H7’s. Any advice?

Just got my V11 through the post. My van is 3 years old in a coupe of weeks so it will need an MOT. I can’t MOT it at the moment as most garages are shut. I do need to use my van to get the weekly shop etc. So I need to tax it. The DVLA website and phone line won’t let me renew the tax due to...

I had the first MOT on my van on friday and they were unable to rev the engine over 2.5k in neutral for the emission test. That was at the city council MOT centre. Is that normal? I'm surprised that sort of thing can pass MOT also advisory on cracked front bushes. Is that a job I can do at...

I wanted to upgrade the yellowish H7 DRL W21W bulb to a whiter light whilst remaining road legal. After checking this forum and Google it was difficult to find a bulb that was both legal (most of the LED bulbs) and without potential errors (Canbus or DAB?) After speaking with @andy greenwood I...

Can’t believe it’s time to get an MOT. Leaves me with an issue of who to trust to do the job. Certainly not going down the Halford route or any other sporadic roadside garage.. Does anyone have any recommendations for near Wakefield, Batley, Ossett area?

If like me, you are one of those members with one of the first registered T6’s, you’ll shortly be needing to get your van MOT’d for the 1st time. I haven’t had a vehicle MOT’d for at least 10 years as i’ve not owned one that has seen it’s 3rd birthday for that long. Equally i’ve never owned a...

So I talked to my neighbour in the pub tonight and the subject of MOT's came up for a reason way too long to go into now, however the long shot is if you have a T32 and it happens to be of a Kombi 4motion flavour then it can go through a class 4 mot because its classed as a multi purpose...
