MOT info

[map]

For those interested I came across the VOSA site with information on the bike MOT.

Information on components tested is here (click it).
A pdf booklet on motorcycle MOT is here.

FYI note that the registration plate isn't listed on the site as a component that's tested (unlike cars). The pdf booklet says 'Registration plates/vehicle identification/frame no - present, legible'. No mention of size. That should be a comfort then

Hope this helps

I think Stinkwheel originally posted this site which also details MOT testing criteria:

https://www.motuk.co.uk/manual/mc_contents.htm

It's not pukka VOSA like yours, but dare I say it has a greater level of detail?

There are lots of little loop holes, some grey areas that may allow you to have a track prepared bike for the road ie no headlight, brake light, indicators, mirrors etc, as long as its for daytime use only

I have have reflecter missing from my front forks If I leave the backing on will it fail? Or will I have to remove the backs and the other one from the forks?

Also if I tape over my indicators and swtich is that good enough as they dont work!
