    Proposed MOT regulations VEHICLE LIST

    in Legislation, Licenses & Registration

    Posted · Edited by protruck

    I'm getting a bit confused over this - the consultation document refers to "HGV Based vehicles" which I would take to mean anything that has it's basis in a vehicle designed from the get-go as a HGV or load carrier. This is not the case with the Stalwart - it came from the same base design that gave us the Saracen and Saladin. These preceded it into construction therefore it is manifestly NOT based on a HGV design, but is adapted from from an existing AFV design - same as the Salamander.

     

    And if I am willing to take a (currently) taxed/insured vehicle to an approved MOT testing Station - but said station declines to test it because they cannot - where does that leave me and all the other Stalwart owners/ In fact - the Saladin and Saracen ones too as the same objections raised by the testing station apply- viz. they are not allowed to climb onto the vehicle to gain entry and have no facilities for the computerised testing of permanent 6 wheel drive vehicles ( I was told by our local car MOT station this week that VOSA are tightening the MOT regs such that Tapley meters may possibly no longer permitted as the reading from the brake rollers have to be recorded as part of the test results and in view of this discussion I asked if this would apply to the HGV tests as well - he thought that it did - might be worth querying this ??).

     

     

    Just my View.

    I the Airport Crashtender Industry. vehicles are required to meet braking requirements, These vehicles

    are permanent 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 drive. as we well know it is not possible for these type of vehicles to be tested on brake rollers but never the less the vehicles still have to meet brake requirements.

    For the airport crash tenders they have to comply to NFPA and ICAL regs. In order to obtain the brake % for the customer we use a digital brake meter. eg.http://www.wagerusa.com/media/brakemeters/brakecheck_leaflet.pdf

     

    These are MOT appoved, and you can print out the test results.This is how the current BR90 bridging vehicles the MOD have where tested, due to the permanent 8x8 drive and tyres.

    The big problem is that all the MOT test Stations have there own view and interpritation on the regs.

    Hi Recymech66.

     

    I have heard the same thing. that there is a problem with the trailers and its not just a couple of isolated

    cases. i heard that they are having material failures too.

    Can't put this down to driver error.
