What's the MOT test 'rules' for spoked wheels, and rusty spokes?

Don't know, but for the past 7 years i've never had a tester do the screwdriver test listening for loose spokes etc. And my spokes are tres rusty. (next job on the list)

Surface and mild rust isn't a problem but if the tester reckons it's "excessive corrosion" then it's a fail. If they're rusty a going over with wire brush,emery, wire wool etc before the test wouldn't go amiss to show they've not that bad- thinned or necked

They can fail them on:

if the rust is bad enough to seriously weaken the spoke it will fail . so if its just surface rust it should pass

Spokes must be noticeably 'thinned' by rust for a wheel to fail, in my experience. If the wheel is straight and the spokes aren't obviously damaged or ridiculously rusted, it'll pass.

Well, thats sounding good... was wondering whether I'd have to have the wheels re laced.
Which, begs idea of new rims.... and I'm into a whole different legue to what I got this bike for...... cheap laughs!

See my post in the other thread - there is something very fishy about this DT. Mainly I'd like to know how an "MX" model has a registration date of Oct '75 when at that age all the DT range was very much twin shock. The MX models came out in the UK in '78 or '79 so something stinks.
