Default Ridiculous MOT advisorys (pic inside)



Are there any MOT guys that can explain why this is so ridiculous?

No.4 is fine as I don't have a rear bench inside the car, but how can the standard engine covers be classed as an advisory? Secondly, how on earth is having to press the headlight switch an advisory?

(Sorry about the upside down pic)

Did you confront them and ask why? I agree though, ridiculous to get an advisory.

There should be a "Comments" section on MOT's for this, not "Advisory" in my opinion.

My dad got this on his B6 Passat a little while back too.
It passed with flying colours.

Very picky. I don't think it's a true MOT if VOSA don't keep up with manufacturers that fit such engine covers and undertrays.

They take a minute(s) to remove, and could reveal a host of MOT issues, or at least proper advisories like oil leaks or coolant leaks etc - the sort of thing I'd like to know about after paying (in some cases) £54.85
