EDIT: Just HPI'd it, its a VTS, was just confused as to why you put "VTS Wheels" sounded like you added them to it lol have you retro fitted them? or were they standard fit? as technically now it should fail, it was put into the MOT jan this year i think, will have to check with my brother as he's an MOT inspector so knows whats what more than i do! lol it was put in with the likes of warning lights on the dash i.e traction control warning lights, before if it was on it would be an advisory or ignored now its a fail!

jordan_bench10 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 with the line "you fitted these after the mot, didnt you??" de cat could be tricky depending on readings but not impossible to sort it is a fail technically if its not self levelling or doesn`t have headlamp washer but unless vosa are doing a spot check at the time your car is being tested, i wouldnt think you will have any issues...... was a tester myself until 2011 too on a side note, not my cup of tea kieran but nevertheless a smart looking little car fella, cant beat french hatchbacks for fun....... old mans scooby was decat half a pot of redex before the mot and it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamsodauk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 i can imagine checking for washers is easy however how would you check they self lever without tilting the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) The headlamps dont require washers or levelling devices. They are only required to work " If fitted " If they are not fitted they are an advisory. The MOT testers manual states " The headlamps MAY be fitted with washers and or levelling devices . IF such systems are fitted they must work. " As for the CAT. This MUST be fitted to the vehicle regardless of MOT emissions test conclusion. ie. Even if your car is cleaner than the air you breath it will still fail for the cat not being fitted.

Manual states it is impractical to test for function, So as long as its there and in one piece its fine.

b19jas Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 No they dont. Retro fitted doesnt come into it in the slightest. Fully passable. If you actually get into the nitty gritty with the DOT then the aftermarket lamps only require levellers and washers of over a certain K value. As MOT testing has no way of measuring k value they are not to be taken into consideration during the test. This is how some manufacturers are getting around the system. Not all factory cars with HIDs have washers or levellers. Have a read of the mot testers manual I have linked to. You will find no mention at all of aftermarket lights. That is the official testers bible as issued by VOSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
