mot

I thought I was onto a good buy when I purchased another E300 a nice tidy and surface rust free example, only 145k on the clock and nil advisories on the MOT. However after two weeks and nearly 1000miles driven the list of problems is growing! electrical issues, glow plugs need doing, now...

Hi all, after picking up my W203 C270 CDI after MOT I noticed exhaust gas smell and put it down to the testing at the time. Driving the car properly for the first time since I still had the smell so I got to my destination and opened the bonnet to a very distinctive sound of "PFFT PFFT PFFT...

I took my CLS for an MOT yesterday and as with the previous MOT it passed no problem. Except one advisory that has never come up on any other MOT it's had. 'Under tray fitted'. :confused: The guy muttered something about not being able to check things due to it having an under tray. It...

Hello - I'm new to the forum and trying to figure out whether it is worth saving my trusty and much loved 2003 Kompressor Long story short I parked near the river near Richmond and came back to find water in my car. I limped home, let the car dry out, replaced a couple of fuses and...

I need some help locating a particular section of the MOT test specification - namely, the one that deals with a brake light failure due to its non-steady lighting, i.e. when it fails the MOT because it flashes whilst the car is stationary (as oppose to adaptive brake light, which only flashes...

As above got my car MOTd this morning At MB Giffnock in Glasgow no problems what so ever ready for another year

Purchased a E class from a dealer in Feb, I pointed out at the time of collection that the discs have a heavy groove which I was assured was within tollerance. Car has covered 10k since and now due its mot. Question is, going through the terms and conditions of the warranty, it says if the...

Hey chaps. My e280 cdi 2007 failed its mot due to the parking brake not working sufficiently. I do have to press the pedal down far for it to grip properly but it does work if pressed hard enough. Do i just need to adjust it or does it sound like shoes or pads are needed. I have never dealt...

Just had MOT on my 2010 W204 Cdi estate, and the MOT inspector showed me the rear steel lines and advised me to grease them up before the winter as there was quite a bit of surface rust on them. He's put it down as an advisory. Anyone else had this and what would you advise as a coating to put...

Took our 2007 Vito Dualiner for MOT today and they refused to test it. Reason given was that they need to inspect the floor panels, and this would not be possible with the built-in dog caging it's had from new: This has never been an issue at any of the previous MOTs. I pointed out...

I have always used my 'local' garage for MoT - although not that local as it's half an hour each way. As I am due to move later this year I broke with tradition and 'gambled' on using Halfords. Why gamble? Well, I thought a discounted MoT would definitely mean additional things required...

I always get my cars MOTd as soon as I can to allow the breathing space of the "extra" month in case work needs doing. However, I took my CLS in a couple of weeks ago as usual and was surprised and disappointed to see that the new MOT ran out exactly 12 months after the test, not 13 as is...

So I have my w211 booked in for its MOT tomorrow but today I got the following error messages - 3rd break light faulty and right hand and left hand no' plate lights not working. Also boot will only open using the little metal key. So I am guessing its the wiring to the boot, probably poor or...

Hello I had my MOT today on my W202 C43 and failed due to emissions. I have had a stainless exhaust with middle CAT and box delete done about 3 months ago the CATs were past it anyway. Anybody in similar situation is there any fuel additive or other technique I can use to get through...

My 2013 C220 has got its first MOT due, plus a 30,000 mile service around the same time. I think the service is the A service (is this the cheaper of the two?). Anyone know which I should book first and how much I should be expecting to pay? Or should I book them both at the same time...

Car fails MOT for most Isle of Wight reason ever

Passed with no advisories, nothing raised on the free 'visual health check', free coffee and WiFi while I waited - result :thumb: This was M-B Guildford btw, with the R129.

Another year ahead, 77000 miles, i replaced 2 tyres which i get at cost and she sailed through with no advisories :bannana:
