hI all,
Just wondering about this, when i painted my axles and diffs. i got paint on some of the brake pipes...saw a thread on here recently about it possibly being failed on MOT for this..
Any genuine advice, help appreciated..
Dont wanna take it next week and get a fail for summat so daft..!
Thanks.
They will just note it down that they have been painted as an arse covering exercise
I’ve seen cars pass mot before where people have slathered corroded brake lines in grease.
Thanks, what i had always thought, but a comment was made on here not long ago re;failing.
My lines are all bang on...but you just never know/
Many thanks.
MOT testers are not allowed to remove anything during the test. That includes paint or grease on brake pipes.
If you have nice, shiney, painted from new brake pipes, the tester will say nothing but if you have blatantly slapped on a thick coat of underseal to hide rusty brake pipes they may give you an advisory stating they are unable to check them properly.
Before anyone charges off with a torch and can of underseal please remember the MOT is a test to meet the minimum safety standard allowed on the road. If you have to underseal or grease your brake pipes to the point the tester cant tell if they are corroded or not, should you really be driving about with them? Brake pipes on a jimny are not massively expensive or difficult to do.
Given that Ermintrude has been waxoyled since the day she left the showroom I'm not going to be removing the coating from the pipes just to avoid an advisory. It's like a lot of other things, common sense is being marginalised through fear of repercussions.
