Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
Comparing electricians doing EICRs to mechanics doing MOTs is like comparing apples with oranges.
The strict rules applied to MOTs leaves little chance of fraud or errors.
Some years ago I went to drop my van off for a service and MOT before seven o’clock In the morning and there were two guys from the DOT sat in a car on an adjacent car park watching the garage to see when they started the first MOT of the day, to ensure the weren’t running through checks on vehicles prior to logging onto the DOT online system get a head start, the number of MOTs that each garage can do is strictly monitored and controlled.
Strict rules apply to the testing and now the test equipment is all going to have to be connected the the DOT system to directly input the test results.
MOT testers are working on a completely different level.
So the garage could service my van in the service bay, but could not enter the MOT bay to be worked on until the correct time, as the DOT had it under surveillance.
