MOT - Passed today

[WR1 Bro]

Got in early in case there were any warranty claims!

I was told they could technically fail our car because it is significantly louder than a standard car? Is this true?

To which I replied, I could technically knock you out because you are smaller than me but that would be unjustified... a bit like failing a car on the sweet Blitz noise!

Yes, your exhaust does not carry a BS stamp, and is labelled not for road use. Hence they are quite within reason to fail it.

I don't recal seeing it labelled "not for road use"!! I thought this was a scenario connected to motor bikes and not cars?

You might have a point actually, but it will not have a BS stamp so officially it's not legal.

This also makes all the kwik fit type o.e replacements officially illegal as well but hey ho - those are the rules

VOSA done loads of chavs locally last year regarding this

Good idea Bro, how early can you go in? My tax runs out at the end of June.

I think you can get a MOT done upto 28 days in advance allowing you to get the extra days tacked onto your new MOT.

I don't think there is a legal limit to car exhausts unlike bikes. I am going to look into this further because you can not allow a MOT station to subjectively measure exhaust noise without a calibrated ear.

APS 3" system reaches 94db's so i'm told

96/97db...but no roadside test would hold up in court because of so many deciding factors as the noise reverberates off buildings/passing traffic etc etc.
