Not a fan tbh

That thing has been popping up for sale on eBay every 6 months or so for the past 4 years.

Every time Si sees it he breaks out in Hives.

"Nearside seat belt anchorage prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.2.6)"

 

Surely that's one of those yes or no issues, it's either rusty and of concern or not rusty and not of concern. It's a seatbelt mount!

Also, surely the front belt mount at that angle would pass tech inspection, they have to be straight back? If you have a crash that's going to rip the seat out.

Absolutely revolting. Been posted many times. The cage is as comical as the rest of the car.

Don't hold back si tell it as it is haha

Christ on a bike :shock:

oh..my...god...

Again!

 

There's only one thing for it, we need to raise enough to buy this turd of a car and get it off the road once and for all!

The mot advisory is just that, it's bringing to your attention something which at the time of test isn't considered excessive enough to warrant a failure.

Corrosion needs to be quite severe to actually fail an mot.

Whenever you read a failure or advisory item on your mot certificate it's not something we as testers write, it's simply a multiple choice from a list pre determined by the DVSA .

 

It's the same as tyres for example, if you present your car with tyres showing 1.6mm of tread I would happily pass your car, but I'm sure you would want to be aware how worn they are...:thumbup1:

During the mot test Alic we are only concerned with the test criteria.

 

Is the seatbelt of the type prescribed for the vehicle?

Is it securely attached to the vehicle?

 

We aren't concerned about "what happens in an accident" we have no way of knowing the outcome so cannot therefore fail it.

 

Remember early zed belts attach to the doors unlike the majority of cars, what will happen in accident if the door becomes detached? Can we fail on the mot for that?

 

Too many mot testers don't stick to the simple rules and test criteria, they like to make up their own interpretation and as a result get it wrong.

I know you are as an mot tester, but I'm thinking on to track days which have tighter scrutiny on what they will allow on the track.

I know mate, possibly being a bit flippant but I think you'd agree rot on or near a seatbelt mount is something that requires attention very quickly lol.

That's a different matter, that doesn't apply to the mot in any way

Sorry but I didn't mention mot whatsoever...

Trouble is mate sometimes it's hard to know for sure that the corrosion is really excessive enough to warrant a fail, I've seen cars that were failed for corrosion only to have the owner appeal and have the DVSA agree in favour of the owner that the corrosion wasn't excessive enough to fail, it's crazy I know.

 

And as always if we as testers have the slightest doubt about anything on the test we MUST pass and advise every time....

Sorry but I didn't mention mot whatsoever...

 

You also didn't state track use either Alic.....

Fair to assume that as your post followed on from the mot info given that's what you were talking about.

Certainly not my cup of tea:thumbdown:

I see that now. But yea tech inspection I was implying for track use.

That needs burning out.. End of

Public track days dont have tech inspections or Scrutineering.

You "self certify" your own vehicle in the pre event paperwork.

I don't think I like a single thing on the whole car!

Alright thanks for the insight
