richie the spod Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Does anyone know if suspension bump stops are included in the mot? Thanks Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Seeing as they're right at the top of the shocks and only come into play when the car bottoms out I'd say they'll be ok as long as they're not obviously perished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stoney thats what I was thinking. I have ordered a new pair from Ford parts but they are on back order, so whether I will ever get them is another matter. Thanks again Richie Hopefully I will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 bump stops are not included in the MOT, even with one missing they can not fail the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mintalkin that's good news, I feel a lot happier now,cos i've just spent out a lot on servicing, and a re spray on both bumpers,so if I don't manage to find any new ones from fordparts I would have beeen gutted. Thanks again mate Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I can confirm that they are not required, i know of someone who fitted Eibach lowering springs and left out the bump stops, the car still passed its MOT (recently- MOTs change as time goes on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
