Over sensitive was created by helijohn
Had an MoT done today and watched as he was poking with a long rod (to my mind a bit to eagerly) at the bodywork just on the forward edge of the rear wheel arches, So it failed on rust and I can't remember if they are allowed to poke with a tool.
The pic doesn't show it well.
It is not a big hole and may be about a foot from a seat belt mount. The other side is not nearly such a big hole

If thats a fault in the uk, they are very strict. The easy way is to cut it clean, glue in a peace of steel and put some underbody sealant or something other rust preventive on. Its not dangerous rust so i dont understand why they put a fault on it

Anything that constitutes a perforation of the body within 30 cm of a body mounting even if it is essentially a separate structure is classed as grounds for refusal.

Are you saying it wasn't rusty or wasn't within 30cm of a body or seatbelt mount? You can't poke a rod through steel that isn't rusty, and although I can't tell exactly from the picture it looks like it's close to the body and seatbelt mounts.
Just re-read your post. Yes they are allowed to poke with a tool. Otherwise people would just underseal over everything and they'd never know.
