The EICR and competence. What are we going to do about the endless problems brought to the forum?

David Stone
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?

    Simon Barker:

    MOT testers have a big book of instructions telling them what is a pass and what is a fail.  Even then, no two testers will grade a car the same.


    Depends what it is and the same must go for an EICR.


    Some things are black and white - e.g. headlamp blown, absence of additional protection.


    Some things have shades of grey - e.g. worn brake pads, Zs a little high.


    MOT testers have their inspection manual, we have BS 7671 and GN3.


    What should not happen in either case is that parts of the inspection are left out. I have had more than one MOT where the brakes were not tested.
