MOT question

[Guy88]

Just a quick question, is a hole in the sill and a rotten floor an MOT fail

[dodgy01]

where in the sill and in the floor it the hole

if they are with in 30 cm of any suspension , or brake componant or seat belt and seat mount then yes

[Guy88]

floor is above rear axle

sill is under rear of SLD bout 3" in front of rear wheel

Floor should be ok but the sill is too close to the suspension mounting. But its almost impossible to say without seeing any pics or the actual vehicle.

I believe sills count as a structural member, but Transits that old have a 'chassis' as well so don't quote me.

well the sill i can put my hand up and feel the wheel arch inside, its just on the inner sill where the panels join

its a MK5 SWB btw

[dodgy01]

both will fail as the rear floor will be with in 30 cm of the load sensing valve for the brakes assuming it has 1

[Mikey B]

The first hole wont fail. It only fails if its within 30 cm of a mounting point, or has an adverse affect on steering or suspension.

The first hole wont fail. It only fails if its within 30 cm of a mounting point, or has an adverse affect on steering or suspension. OR BRAKES

[Mikey B]

I too am a mot examiner for vosa
A hole in the floor wont matter as its not structural....

[dodgy01]

if it is with 30cm of a pescribed are ie a load sensing valve which is above the rear axle then it is a reason for rejection
as i put in my prevous post

[Mikey B]

Not going to argue with someone over the internet grow up lol. No one can say if its a fail or not without seeing it..

[Guy88]
