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?
... 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.
I almost wondered whether that blog was dated 1 April.
The duration of an MOT test is, as Andy says, controlled by the computer and has been for quite a few years. That is slightly inconvenient for an older car which has less to test. I also wonder how they will connect a Tapley - not all cars can be roller tested. Connecting to the on-board diagnostics will doubtless catch a few vehicles which would pass nowadays, but again, not all cars have one.
I suggest that this does compare with an EICR. If there are no RCDs, they cannot be tested same as if there are no indicators for example.
