New MOT checks delayed?

Hello,

Just wondering if the Bedding IN period has ended as i read somewhere due to legal proceedings the new MOT changes that were meant to come in 2012 have been delayed until end of 2012.

so in theory and hopefully someone here maybe able to confirm the new checks are still going to Advisories and are not going be fails.

does anyone if this is true?

  • Google? They are on there.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • My MOT is due early December. Will the new rules be in then?

    Until at least the end of 2012 the new rules are "advisory" only rather than fail. Will go looking for the page on the AA website where I saw the info

    Edit:

    Advisory period continues
    The legal process for changing regulations is taking longer than expected and VOSA keeps extending the ‘bedding in’ period for the new test items as a result.

    VOSA has now confirmed that the advisory period for the new test items will remain in place at least until the end of 2012.

    The latest version of the MOT inspection manual shows the new reasons for failure (currently advisory) highlighted
    Now free from the incompetence of vodafail
