    New MoT Changes for 2012

    in MOT & Maintenance

    Posted

    It will only affect the car with the cat if they can prove it needs one etc, im away to look up emissions flow chart to try and point out which cars need cat test etc so everyone knows.

    There is already a fail on the MoT system for noise levels but doesnt state a reading etc so its down to the testers discretion. unless its crazy loud it should pass.

    Yeah we recommend the Genuine Toyota ones which we can supply, also we can supply a budget equivalent which are still great qaulity but not genuine,

    It's always good for piece of mind to know whats replaced as you never know the cars history or what terrain it's been driven in so any bushes could have premature wear. IMO if the bushes are coming out its just aswell to put uprated ones in as with the age of the car it may take some work to remove them, then after all that it's just standards ones going back in if you know what I mean.

    Regards
