Test it,fail it,enter your findings on vts device(even pass & advise).Then when it goes to appeal your findings are then your evidence of what you saw on the day.It's no good telling the presenter of your findings, if you have no backup vosa won,t back you."TEST IT, FAIL OR PASS IT LOG EVERY THING ..(cover yur ass)..By the way if you "refused to test" then you charged "no fee"..Seems like a lot of aggro for nothing!!.
I had a pug 306D in yesterday,I could smell diesel (so it was obviously leaking somewhere) but on pre inspection check i could'nt detect exactly where the leak was,I could have refused to test but decided to carry on..Test resulted in an obvious "fail"(other items also found).But because I tested it properly the presenter paid the fee (£40.00) and is coming back tomorrow for a full "stripdown inspection"to see exactly where the leak is from...happy as larry...

what is the outs and ins?? had a car in that had been put together" not very well "with bodyfiller on sills and chassis where rear axle mounts up..up shot is presenter went ballistic and phoned in vosa...i phoned helpline number at time of refusel to test and explained to vosa over the phone about the condition of the car and i think it is dangerous where bodyfiller is and also sharp edges protruding from sills they said vosa cant force you to carry out test if NT thinks it is dangerous...well up shot VE brought car in and said he would test it..even though i explained all this and a lot of the fibre filler had been removed looks like 80 points and a ban for me...time to replace mot sign with a great big fekin target. refused to test on sect.H testing vehicle might cause damage to any person or vehicle or equipment as verified with swansea..so does their advice not count then why have a helpline
