Re: Changes to MOT from 1st Jan 2012 Oh I should expect so. Come my next mot I'll try arguing that 2cvs should get a discount because there's less to test, but I don't suppose it'll do any good.
And welcome to the forum.

Re: Changes to MOT from 1st Jan 2012 http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/MOT%20Inspection%20Manual.pdfI've not trawled through the whole thing yet. But the first thing that jumps out is that the steering lock inspection only applies to vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2001... EDIT: ...and even then it can be removed if replaced with another immobilisation device.

Re: Changes to MOT from 1st Jan 2012 Quote: Reasons for Rejection regarding the opening of
doors does not apply to:
goods vehicles modified for the carriage of high
value cargoes such as armoured security
vehicles
passenger doors if the door aperture has been
permanently ‘filled’ as part of a specialised
customisation provided that there are no obvious
aperture gaps.

Re: Changes to MOT from 1st Jan 2012 No, I doubt it, I assume it means if the entire door has been welded shut and the door is no longer visible.
