My pride and joy has failed its test today :Sad:and I am confused by one of the fail items. The exhaust ends under the motorhome - there is no tailpipe sticking out of the side. The fact that this is listed as a fail item confuses me for two reasons. First, the exhaust itself is sound with no leaks - the only problem with it could be that the underside of the vehicle is getting dirtier than it should. Second, the tailpipe fell off almost two years ago, and the MOT was passed with flying colours at the same garage last yearoh:
I can't speak to the tester until tomorrow afternoon but I thought I would see if anyone knew what the legal position actually is. Does the absence of a tailpipe mean a failure? If it doesn't, can I argue the point with the tester or am I best taking it somewhere else for a second opinion?
