landy went in today for mot, failed on ,,3 dust covers..blimey...ball joint covers and anti roll bar rubber...while it was undergoing this drastic repair i had air con serviced, now its ice cold, what surprised me was that i remarked at least mot is not up till 12th April so loads time to do repairs...little bit banter..only to be told..no...under new mot guidelines..when it fails..it invalidated the previous mot, so if you take it in month early as i norm do and it fails..data base shows...a failed mot.
weve lost that crucial month to get repairs done, in fact a guy in there was shocked as his had failed and needed the car for work 20 mile away...untill he can book it in for repair..nope..you can drive home ..and back for retest..,end off
rang up 2 other mot places who confirmed.
only way around it is to have a pre mot check as such.
mine now as new mot no advisories
