damadom Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Really nervous today as my supra has gone for its MOT. I'm not expecting it to pass but it might do there is nothing that me or my dad can find that will fail it on an MOT, so with any luck i might just be lucky. Will keep you all updated.

jackso11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Then why ar eyou not expecting it to pass? MOT is a basic safety test, if you car is safe, free of rust, lights are in line and tyres are good it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbuddy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 EMMMISSSSIONNNNNNS .. has anybody ever had an advisory on the slip saying exhaust too loud? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Good luck As above, there's no reason for it not to pass as long as you've checked it over and you've got at least 1 cat in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damadom Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 yeah theres no rust, what i can see anyway and the exhaust is in good nick. I thught they checked for other stuff like if the brakes worked properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I can think of a few things it could fail on and aren't easily checked unless you have a ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 if you have the Cat's in place it should be fine. If not, you need a magic MOT man to pass it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 if you have the Cat's in place it should be fine. If not, you need a magic MOT man to pass it. A little pixy comes and sprinkles a bit of pixy dust over your car ... while this was happening and distracting everyone another pixy puts the emissions sniffer in another car.

Mistermann Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The main brake lines under the car, the brake hoses that go to the calpers, play in suspension bushes and ball joints, fuel lines, wheel bearings, inner sill/floor pan corrosion. Some of these were checked on my car - it failed due to play in the suspension bushes - however....it passed without a working foglight (JSpec) - Emissions were fine though lol Good luck!

damadom Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Got the car back and bad new it failed. The failure was the offside rear brake pipe was corroded and the brake strip light doesnt work, so to say its been sat in a garage for 3 years and under a cover for 1 year it didnt do that bad All i need to do is get the parts and replace them.
