The DVSA are updating the way MOT tests are recorded - the roadworthiness directive will change how test centres categorise defects, from the 20th May instead of the current 'fail' and 'advise' defects will be categorised as 'dangerous', 'major' or 'minor'. Dangerous and Major DefectsThese defects will be a fail or refusal to issue an MOT certificate, cars failed as 'dangerous' should not be driven away from the test centre. Defects Considered as 'minor'Replacing 'advisories' with 'minor' defects, these defects will be noted against the 'pass' certificate and should be dealt with accordingly. Additional changes that will have an effect on the MOT
