new mot rules - widnes_is200 - 27-11-2018
Dont know how tru this is yet but 2 of the testers in work have said that later in the year possibly as early as feb ECU alterations will be a fail, dont know how this would be tested, also hids without self leveling suspention and light washes will also become a fail, has anybody elce heard owt?

what would they clasify as ecu fails though i mean come on
FCD - its an adition to the wiring and sensors not the ecu as such ish unless you check voltages being fed into it....
after market ECU well thats a huge kettle of fish i dont wanna even think of lol

The following is an extract from
http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repositor...Oct%202010.pdf
The car/light goods vehicle MOT test is about to change – the European Commission has changed the Directive that covers it. We take a look at when these changes are likely to come into effect and what they mean for MOT testers.
Britain has been testing vehicles under the MOT scheme for 50 years now. Last year, the European
Directive covering the MOT test was updated and revised by a modern version called 2009/40/EC. This was then updated by 2010/48/EU, which was ratified on 5 July this year. The new Directive keeps the EU
minimum 4-2-2 test frequency but adds a number of new elements to the British MOT test. The Directive
anticipates all test changes being in place by 1 January 2012, and a common European approach to test certificates in place by 1 January 2014. So what is VOSA doing to introduce the changes? In terms of test frequency, in mid-July the coalition government confirmed that it intends ‘to look at the issue of MOT test frequencies later this year’. VOSA contributed statistical data to inform the last review in 2008, and we expect that our computer system and the data you have entered will be utilised again in much the same way. We expect to hear more details of the government’s review proposals later in the year.
As far as changes to the test content are concerned, VOSA has already been analysing the requirements of the new Directive and working out how to implement them. We started this earlier in the year by talking with representatives of the MOT trade at our regular Trade User Group and VTS Council meetings. Both VOSA and the Department for Transport (DfT) are keen to ensure that any changes to the test are introduced in as practical a way as possible, keeping the burden on the trade to a minimum and ideally keeping the changes cost neutral. In many cases, the changes shouldn’t necessarily lead to an increase in average test times. A good example is the malfunction indicator lamps on the dashboard that indicate defective electronic power steering, electronic stability control and secondary restraint systems. Testers already check the dashboard for other lamps, so no extra time would be required for this addition to the test.
Electrical wiring and batteries are
now included in the test’s scope,
but testers already check the
vehicle structure where wiring is
secured – often along the same
routes as other testable items,
such as brake pipes in the engine
compartment. So again, this
doesn’t look like an additional
burden on the tester. In the precomputerisation
days, testers often
(wrongly) failed vehicles for insecure
batteries, so they must have been
looking at them then! Now, it
means that when we implement
the new Directive, vehicles can
legitimately fail for battery insecurity,
for no extra tester effort.
Other items – such as headlamp bulb and unit incompatibility, headlamp levelling devices and
illegal engine ‘chipping’ – will need further thought before we can get a workable solution for MOT
stations. Some of the new items may require extra effort on the part of the tester – when we know for
sure what that is we’ll be talking again with our trade and DfT colleagues to work out what the
impact will be.
The common EU test certificate
should be relatively easy to achieve
– the only data that the Directive
expects and that we don’t currently
provide is the symbol for the
vehicle’s country of origin. Probably
99% of vehicles tested will have
‘UK’ entered here, but if you do test
vehicles with a foreign plate, you
will need to enter the correct
country symbol. We may even be
able to make this change earlier if
there is a convenient opportunity.
The MOT trade can rest assured
that VOSA is working closely with
you to introduce any new elements
as efficiently and effectively as
possible, with the minimum of
fuss. Just as importantly, we are
also working closely with Siemens
to ensure that any system changes
due on New Year’s Eve 2011 go
smoothly! We should know more
by the time the MOT seminars take
place – come along and ask the
experts. We’ll also be sure to keep
you posted on developments

new mot rules - ormi - 27-11-2018
LOT OF SH@T and thats from a vosa boy!!its a bunch of suits sitting in a office making stuff up......
theirs no way of testing if a cars chipped if we plug in the it2(toyotas tester)as long as the chips running right the tester wont flag anything.....
also the hid thing is cr@p!!the first reno laguna with hids has no self level or projectors or a fancy reflector but it does have the wash system neither does the is200 le along with a few others!!
