MOT Testers and Previous Advisories

jims-terrano · Jul 9, 2014

Im pretty much sure it happens but can MOT Testers see previous advisories on their system? Im obviously not a tester but common sense dictates that yes they can but wonder if we have anyone in the know.

If you know the vin number you can look it up.

yup. friend of mine is an MOT tester, it all comes up I think either before they start the MOT or after, but as said if you have the VIN its dead easy to look up.

So a lazy tester could simply fail on an old advisory without really caring or know what hes doing very easily.

Yes but... who would let the vehicle run for a whole year knowing there was a fault that usually can only get worse.

On the other hand, I have picked up an advisory for a chip in the windscreen...
6 MOT's later, still the same windscreen, and no further advisories... Now a chip can't get better can it.:augie
Also had an advisory for the tow ball partially obscuring the number plate, again many years later, same number plate, no advisories...

So I doubt inspectors are looking at past history, after all, what they have in front of them is real.:thumb2
