No. Unless the tester picks the puty off.

I got an advisory for it, but in fairness there was about 5 months between applying putty and MOT, plus when painted over with HT paint it seems to crumble a bit. Still passed though. Thumbs Up

Old RS50 we puttied the exhaust, wrapped it with exhaust wrap and HT paint, no mention of it. Thumbs Up

I'll let you know next friday. Can't see mine failing as the repair is sound and difficult to spot.

Mine passed and it was not completely gas tight.

I used a baby's formula milk tin and some clamps to cover a big hole. The guy thought it was a specially made exhaust.

I've had a hole in my RXS pipe for years. Gun Gum and a jubilee clip has been satisfactory for the various MOT testers, as the repair is gas tight.

Simple answer - as long as it is not leaking then it will be fine. Thumbs Up
