MOT advisory sheet

Post by **rayofleamington** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 7:30 pm

When you get an MOT with advisories there is a 2nd sheet.
The main MOT sheet shows that advisories were given.

If a seller gives you the MOT sheet but there is no advisory sheet when there should be - does anyone know how to find out what the advisories are??

(yes - I've been buying cars again)

If you are the owner of the vehicle you can ask the MOT station for a duplicate

You go onto the MOT web site - www.motinfo.gov.uk
Type in your MOT details and it gives the advisories - and any items that if failed on before gaining the pass !
If you look at the back of the VT20 MOT Test Certificate it has a box on the bottom with the web site address with commment "to check the MOT status of a vehicle visit ... "

That's what I thought too, but I'd already tried that and it did'nt! It only allows me to check basic detail on your certificate (date and mileage

)

e.g.

Registration Mark: #
Make of the vehicle: #
Model of the vehicle: #
Test Result: Certificate Issued (Pass)
Colour of the vehicle: BLUE
Date of test: 24/03/2007
Expiry date: 23/03/2008
Odometer Reading: 66338 Miles
VTS undertaking the test: 5949BW
VTS telephone number: 01753577991

This is the latest test for this vehicle.

To get the documents reprinted from the MOT station, there is a £10 fee

The previous owner said the advisories were just the windscreen wipers which have now been replaced - however I have a lot of reasons not to trust much/any of what I was told.

Doh!!

I needed to click the 'history' button, not the 'status'

got there now!

Advisory Notice issued
Nearside Rear shock absorber has a slightly reduced damping effect (2.7.5)
Nearside Rear Upper radius arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.3)
Offside Rear Upper radius arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.3)
Oil leak

Thanks!

Where did you get this figure?

he made it up - based on the amount of repairs I've done in the week since we fetched the car

That was an accurate guesstimate

the advisories were just the windscreen wipers

Dont blame you for doubting Ray as I thought wipers were pass or fail I didnt think they were an advisory item
