ziplobb Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Ok took my 2005 Roadsport in for MoT tester says he cannot complete test & therefore its a fail as he does not know what to measure emissions to. I bring back V5 at his request as he says it should be stated - its not. he is now suggesting that I need to SVA the car again in order to get this 'entry' on the V5 and therefore get an MoT. This is also most inconvenient from the Isle of Wight ... now I know these things can be tricky but theis seems daft - I have phone the factory today and they say it sounds strange & someone ws going to call me back about it but never did. I a now unsure as to how to proceed - any suggestions ?? Come to Wighblat 08 and have a slice of my birthday cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boylston Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Unlucky for you. This happened to me as my v5 doesn't state a value. The garage used the help on the MOT system/computer. They followed three pages to flow diagrams on what to do and the final box stated 'use the value from the v5'. Much swearing and ranting followed. They gave up at this point and skipped the emissions check. Maybe try a different place? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplobb Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 that seems to be the answer but its far from ideal this system should not allow something like this to happaen - its beyond the influence of the builder/owner & so the SVA & DVLA should make it so - its pathetic in the 21st century.

w7rren Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh dear, my log book has no figure either. Its booked in for a test in a couple of weeks. You'd of thought that a certain year / model would have a set figure. In my case a 2005 classic. Funny how they know what cat you come under for road tax . Please let me know how you get on. Good luck edit to add - when entering various caterham registration numbers in dvla enquiry they mostly come up with 0% emissions.

The Polisher Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Find a Caterham friendly MOT station for yor first MOT! My 2004 Roadsport had its first MOT last year after being upgraded to 200 bhp with no cat. After informing the testing station that it would not pass an emissions test they completed the test on a 'visual smoke' only basis. It passed its second test yesterday on the same basis. The first test sets the goalposts for the future so shop around to find a friendly station even if you have to travel. Dave H.

S47zz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Agree with the 'Polisher' find a MOT friendly station for the 1st MOT - after that you'll have no probs. I encountered a similar situation with my 1970 car when I tried to MOT the car which had been off the road for a couple of years. Now it's no Probs, just take the old MOT with you everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R400 Velocity R Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Guy's I did see a pdf once that said something like if it is not stated when registerd then they cant test therefore its a pass Now I could be talking out my 🙆🏻 but its worth doing a search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplobb Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ok well they hve issued the pass & say that they followed the flow chart further on the VOSA website It seems to me that is no value is deeclared on the V5 then they could test whatever & pass it - they are not obliged to keep a photocopy of the V5 indeed its a completely automated system. I will need o go to the same testing stattion next year in order to avoid agro !! Come to Wighblat 08 and have a slice of my birthday cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
