While it is not mandatory to conduct the brake test last - best practice would suggest that the underside inspection is completed first in order to establish that there are no defects present which would render it unsafe to conduct a brake test, or which might present a risk of injury or present a risk of damage to the vehicle.

The RFR is brake binding and that is all we as testers need to know. You can investigate further as a technician after the MOT is over for repair purposes Start both sets of rollers and note whether a significant brake effort is recorded from any wheel without a brake being applied. Gradually depress the service brake and watch how the braking effort for each wheel increases.

It is the roller brake tester that shows you the brake is binding, not the adminsitration that follows. With regards the park brake test with reference to the manual, this efficiency test is done last, so it might not be possibly to know the brake is binding until after the test anyway? In respect to KevG thread, which is more important the air freshener on the rear view mirror, or the 4mm wheel bearing play, quite obviously the air freshener on the mirror To be honest I just normally take the air freshener off before I bring the vehicle into the test bay, and I must say that I have never in my life time of testing known a VE to do what you have said, although I am not saying some VE's have not do so, but in my view VE's issuing points for a air freshener is a bit much, after all the VE that counciled you about failing the brake disc you failed, which he said you should not have done didn't give you any points for something you thought was very serious?

I have a bit of a problem with that one. The test is not finished till you have completed the paperwork, so if you know the brake is binding during the MOT test how can it not fail?

I reckon it was the cold weather making springs go brittle and in conjuction with the roads being torn up by the frost. Kev

I agree Jock. Same with wiper blades. If they clean the screen they pass. If they dont, for whatever reason, (oil on screen springs to mind) then they fail. Just as an interesting aside. Have had two cars in the garage in the last few weeks with antifreeze 9Engine Coolant) in the washer bottle! Also , dont know about every one else, but we have been having more than our normal amount of broken springs recently.

Shouldn't be interpretin, just readin then doin. That's when it all starts going wrong is when you start interpretin. With this example, when the rfr is not providing enough water to clear the screen in conjuntion with the wipers, what interpretation is needed? Can't think of any way to make that any clearer Last edited on Tue Mar 15th, 2011 07:51 pm by Aylesbury Jock |
