umesh 336 Posted April 14, 2018 The mot changes come into force in May which most of us are aware of, but I didn't realise the equipment needs some update/tweaks, I had a call yesterday from the company that we use saying they'll be along to do the necessary and the cost is £650+ vat , just wondering if anyone can enlighten me me ? Thanks Umesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mojo121 229 Posted April 14, 2018 As you maybe eluding that sounds like an opportunist. I've heard nothing regarding necessary changes to equipment from the two stations we use - and they definitely would've moaned! I'll ask the tester on Monday to make sure.

justina3 518 Posted April 15, 2018 Was just reading the changes there are a few in there that night night us in the backside namely, a dpf that has been removed or tampered with will be a fail, how do I check every dpf before buying at the block. Anythibg marked as dangerous can not be moved from the test station until the fault is fixed, well that sucks as we do our own work why would I pay someone else to do mechanical work. Or have I misread the coming changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dealer 54 Posted April 15, 2018 Some mot stations are being made to upgrade their equipment at a considerable cost, new legislation coming in about any dashboard warning lights, i don't know all the details but have heard our tester (owner) speaking about it on a number of occasions over the last few weeks. Definitely going to be a lot tougher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
