Failed MOT

pip_polo · Post by **pip_polo** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 5:24 pm

due to 'been the lowest car he has ever had to MOT'

got a re test for free and it passed once it was lifted aboout 3 miles.

i can honestly feel the difference in having it high again, hate it

anyone else had any problems like that?

also someone out bid me on my new wheels on ebay

Never heard of that before....

That is gutting about the wheels man! I still have another couple months to wait for mine too

Tempted to get my 35 mill springs soon and put them on with the standard polo alloys

MOT testers make a personal decision about it I feel.
I have seen sump grinding cars passing before and 40mm cars fail.

You might get lucky

lol, yeah standard mate. I got the advisory "car is very low" or somthing along them lines

they just couldn't get it up the ramp into the testing bay, so therefore a fail as it couldn't be checked lol.

i'll take a pic tomor of what they have done to it. ( made it higher than standard on front and about -30mm on back - some major rear rake lol)

Yer the last 2 times i've had my MOT they've said 'can't do it its too low to get on ramps' to which i've replied - 'give me a min ill raise it'

Just had to do it more
