I can't believe I have failed on these things.

 

Boot won't open.

 

Small blow in the exhaust between the cat and the rear section join.

 

Spoiler brake light not working.

 

That makes my car a real death trap and surely unroadworthy! These MOT rules drive me mad :headvswal

 

I know about the others and have sorted the brake light already but can someone out there tell me why the hell my boot not opening is a fail! I can open it, I just need someone to operate the lever whilst I open the boot.

 

Don't ya just hate MOT's!

Boot not opening???? An MOT failure???? Un fookin believable mate - let's see if someone can shed any light as to why..........................

i had an fiesta and the boot wouldnt open on that unless u hit it whilst turning the key and he passed it so cant c why its a prob, fooking rules i hate them

I can't believe I have failed on these things.

 

Boot won't open.

 

Think id ask to see where on the MOT tersters guide "Does boot open" is. :confused:

Obviously the tester hadnt got any the night before.

 

IIRC if the car has a part it must work properly. IE it has a boot but it must open and close as per normal.

 

Im surprized he still failed it tho, go n give him a slap! :slap:

and me .. take it to another testing station .. what a load of crap ...

So how come a car can pass an MOT test without the reversing lights working???

I think this confirms it!

So in short, anyone who lives in Camberley, stay away from Motest in the Old Dean. They are Masturbaters! :xxx:

Is it me (or the malt whisky) but doesn't this reference just refer to the doors and not the boot???

I would imagine they would need access to the boot interior, to check for things like rust/rot, and without access they would have to fail it ?

 

Although surely they'd still be able to access it via the folding rear seat...so not sure about that.

Well, I think I best shove some gun gum on the zorst and take it back for a word with the tester and his manual!

ive seen quite a lot of MOT's being done and NEVER once seen the tester open the boot of a car, sounds like *****cks to me. As for your boot not opening, you need to lower the catch, i guess it rattles on bumpy roads too right?

when my z was motd no boot was opened,glad of that i had 2 oz of coke in there :smash:

Cheers Clarkey,

 

It does tend to rattle a bit. How do I go about lowering it?

I am pleased to say that after exactly £6.56p of my hard earned and thanks to a little advise from you lot on here my Zed is now legal again :bow: Since hitting the dog in my daily drive I have not had one car that is strictly speaking road legal so its good to be back! :dance:

 

I'm glad my Zed is now safe to drive now I can get my boot open without the help of my girlfriend!:D What a bunch of :xxx: they were at Motest. They even made me wait 2 hours for the car to have its retest and would not allow me to go home cos they were "short staffed!"...........and thats my problem because!!!??? :slap:
