Is this a mot fail

Do you think this is a fail
it was on my long list to do but not got round to it and its due soon

 

If there's no rot or holes, then you should be ok...

Looks like someone has jacked on it...?

 

Depends on how picky the tester is i suppose

 

looks rotten to me and so does the jacking point, i would expect it to fail

 

Thing with MOTs is they're only allowed to use finger pressure, so if it doesn't crumble away in your hands, then they have a hard job to fail it!!

But like Para said, it's all down to the tester on the day!!

 

x2

 

yeah i know that, but it looks rotten in that picture and so does the bottom of the jacking point,

 

id do it as soon as possible bet to be safe.

 

Structural parts they need to "TAP" providing they have the right echo and not a dull sound, if the latter time to dig,my old mot man was proud of the wear of his hammer/screwdriver tool ,I cannot really picture him using finger pressure ,it`s for your own safety...

 

30cm rule bud.

 

It all feels solid but for the hassle i think i will change it
The jacking point is ok as long as i don't remove the belly pan if i do it will need as new sill and i was hoping to put that off untill next year.

 

I cant see the jacking point? This is the rearmost crossmember isnt it.Mines getting that way (on my list of things to do). Im pretty well aware of work that needs doing chasis wise bit I put belly pans on to protect but which hide most of the nasties anyway. If they cant see it they cant test it. If you had a centre belly pan on this wouldnt be visible.

"30cm rule bud." - 30 cms from what?

 

Braking, steering or suspension component... (I think).

 

one of mine is crushed due to jacking/bottoming out on something (previous owner) on my 1st mot the guy said is wasn't structural so i've left it.

 

I'd be more worried about what's left of your sill to the left.

 

that's the belly pan the jacking point not look ing to bad as long as the belly pan stays on

 

You probably just need to decide whether your going to agonise about it or just get it in for test as early as you can giving you some grace time to get it sorted and retested before your old one expires. It isnt "dangerous" as such and if it does pass then you can do it at your leisure. Cant help thinking that you need to do some rust prrofing, paint, waxoyle, underseal...something to protect under there as its a bit scabby (so is mine btw dont take that to heart)

 

Thanks i think i am going to do this its £30 for the panel and look easy to do.
i have painted the front half with Epoxy Mastic 121 but not done the back as i knew i would have to do this work

 

took a pic of mine for you today, no rot just crushed, mot man said ok. you can see where i bolted a plate between the small split.

 

Is this part of the cut n shut job they did?
