    I've just purchased a van that came fitted with a tachograph and I'm worried that I've let myself in for trouble. The vehicle is a 3.5t gross, so doesn't need a tacho by law, but I've been told some fleet companies use them on standard vans.

  • New MOT - interesting quirks 17 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    I took the documents to the PO to tax our company van, and an eagle-eyed cashier spotted that the hand-written "U" on the registration number on the MOT certificate could, if read at the wrong angle, look a tiny bit like an "L", so she rejected the certificate and refused to issue the tax disk.

  • I was sold a dangerous vehicle and have no rights? 9 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    Traded in my trusty fiesta car (worth around £700) & stumped up £1,175 cash for a van I need to transport my musical equipment. It had 10 months MOT (but no advisory note) and mileage was 78,000. 4 months down the line, after breaking down twice and having to replace minor parts, I decided to get it inspected by a reputable vehicle technician.

    It's 3.5t on the log book but the former owners said it's more like 4.3t fully loaded with travel gear. It's just passed its MOT with  2 advisories , including "Suspension bellows damaged but not to excess Rear and centre axle suspension airbags cracking (5.3.5 (b) (i))" The last MOT also said "Rear Suspension bellows damaged but not to excess 2nd and 3rd axle o/s and n/s deteriorated (5.3.5 (b) (i))".
  • MOT Diesel Smoke Test.... 8 Feb 2021 (Forum)
    I worked there for 15 years until 1995 when I left to work for a motoring organisation as a patrol. I was an MOT tester from 1985 - 1995, and conducted countless tests on cars and light vans. Can someone please explain to me why it is necessary to rev a diesel engine from idle right up to the governor, hold it for a second and let it fall again, and do this 5 or 6 times to measure exhaust smoke?
  • Please help me buy a van 21 Dec 2002 (Forum)
    I don't mind spending some money on maintianing it but I don't want to be stuck with an expensive garden shed. Fairly secure. MOT - and worthy of it Not essential but desireable: Power Steering Diesel - not petrol if I can help it Ability to tow up to 2 tonnes (with or without pay load in van) Are there any fantastic sources out there where I can get a good Transit sized van for around £1000?
  • MOT new plate regulations 1st Oct 2007 29 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    Just read this week's Honest John column in the Telegraph: http://tinyurl.com/33urse == My wife's 2002 Jaguar X-type went for a service and MoT recently. All was in good order, but an advisory notice was issued to tell us the "rear number plate might fail the next MoT". How can this be? D.B., Norwich # Number plates delaminate. Once the numbers start to become obscured, it's an MoT failure. == Just wanted to point out another reason the advisory might have been issued is due to new MOT regulations for registration plates which came in force 1st October 2007.
