Gas Bottle and MOT

[justRoamin]

Hi all.... Putting Motorhome in for its MOT, Should I remove the gas bottle or just leave it in? It's turned off..not MOT'ed a mororhome before... Not seen it mentioned anywhere... Thanks

Hi ya,
That's actually a good question.
The simple answer is as above, its not part of the MOT, but it would be sensible to just turn it off.
Good luck with MOT.

it may not be a mot issue but it should be secured to the vehicle,good luck with the mot,all the best,jan

p.s,avoid kwick fit type places for van mot's,

can't you have it done up to a month early and keep the original expiry date ?

 

[justRoamin]

True.... I'm doing it last week of this month,I'm a bit busy till then.

Not true.

I made this mistake.

It is a month less one day.

If you go exactly one month before you will loose any remaining time on the mot !

And also worth mentioning that if the vehicle fails the test you cannot use it for the "month" you thought you had left on your old MOT once it's failed it's off the road until it passes.

Never had mine weighed either although it would be good idea if they did.
