2012 MOT Test

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

As some of the Members are involved in
the Motor Industry I was wondering
what their views where on the MOT
rule changes for 2012 /

Just as an example Rear Cat delete on
a E90 M3 will be a fail.

Emissions Test to be on year of ''engine'' fitted
not year of 'Car', and all required Cats fitted.

Any Suspension modifications that are considered
inappropriate, fail.

Who says what is inappropriate ?

I would guess this is primarily aimed at the
Spring 'choppers' but it allows to much
personal indiscretion.

Was just curious on how those involved view
all this, as its certainly 'creep' towards a pan
European style of Test.


Regards,

The Gorilla.

EU reckons changing wheels and tyres to a larger size will reduce your mpg so increase your co2 so they are thinking of increase your road tax into the next band.

If we decrease our wheel size and rolling radius does the tax decrease then....thought not!....funny how it never seems to work the other way round with these euro bureaucrats!?!

Hi,

From what I understand, the 2012 changes
are all part of an EU directive which is all
on going.

I spoke with a Local MOT Tester and he is of
the view that this is just the start.

He said that a Pan European MOT based around
the German TUV test was their ultimate goal.

Thats the plan, I think it will take more cars off the road.

Lazy skinflint, tramp, pennypinching chav fucker, leaves car with no attention for 2 years, then come MOT time, with 2 years of wear and tear and neglect, the car needs thousands spending, said chav cant afford the repairs, so car is scrapped.


It will mean more dangerous cars on the road IMO. More balding tyres, etc etc.
