Cracked bumper -mot issue?

Featured Replies

Hey all,

Has a little ding in my focus and cracked the bumper. Will that fail the mot? The light will be fixed today!

 

Also the wing has been pushed out a bit. Issue?

 

Thank you all

If all the lights work when your fogs are put back and you're not leaking any fluids (maybe from your radiator) then you will be fine. If your headlight was affected, they may have to adjust it to give the right pattern but they should just do it anyway and pass you.

My understanding is that there should be nothing that could injure a pedestrian more than it would otherwise do if the damage was not there.

Some MOT testers are stricter on some things and some stricter than others. The MOT tester I went to for years recently retired but from what he made me do to some of the cars I had over the years I reckon he would not pass that unless I stuck loads of gaffer tape over the damage as he would say it would cut a pedestrian if you hit one.  he had me put gaffer tape on my wheel arches and bottoms of the doors on different cars because the rusty bits could cut pedestrians.  He was fair on other parts of MOT but he seemed very strict on this aspect

pass

How have you managed to scrape both sides of your front bumper, have you been letting yer missus drive? :biggrin:

Judging from the paint fade on the bumper compared to the rest of the bodywork, that's been an iffy respray job. The paint on the passenger side may have decided to jump off the bumper of its own accord!

A sharp part exposed can be a fail.
Cover it in duct tape and it will pass.
