Old Red Celica Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thought they werent allowed to use a hammer anymore, but just visual checks? Hammer NO, "Corrosion Assessment Tool" YES. Which is why my first post on this thread asked IF they really had seen them use a hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askari Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 DVLA do a monthly newsletter for MOT testers, which crosses my work desk occasionally. One story I saw was about a Vauxhall Zafira which came with a full length under tray, which the MOT inspector could not remove and therefore passed the inspection of the underside of the vehicle by default. However vigorous use of the corrosion assessment tool on a patch of rust on the sill revealed that there was also significant corrosion of the body frame under the vehicle. The point being made was that had there not been a patch of rust on the sill and had the tester not applied a certain amount of judgement (and force) a vehicle that was not fit for use would still be on the road.
