What reason are they giving for not passing it?
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - celticdog - 28-07-15
Dodgy MOT's
why not change the headlight to make it legit, get the MOT then return the headlight to your original spec?
As we all know, an MOT's only as good as the day it's written :rollin
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - marino - 28-07-15
when I brought the bike it had non of the original fairing or headlines the wires have already been cut and soldered so going back to the original would be a long and expensive process.
another issue is my bike is stored in my friends garage in Brighton while I'm stuck in derby.
I know my bike is safe riding condition otherwise I wouldn't drive it. just finding a mechanical that will give a bit of leeway with Chinese headlight
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - sadlonelygit - 28-07-15
okay then.
get some gaffer tape, cover over all your lights, indicators and then present bike for test.
you will get an advisory stating lights not tested, but you will have an MOT.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - marino - 28-07-15
well I will give this a go
guess IV only got 30 quid to lose.

Nice circular logic there. :rolleyes
Presumably it's failing on dipped beam shape or otherwise causing dazzle to oncoming vehicles so it needs to be sorted out.
If you can't do that where it's currently kept, disconnect the lights and tape over them, get a Daylight Only MOT and ride it home.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - marino - 28-07-15
well I had I serviced last new tiers, plug, chain, pads, air filter, and bearing. I'm not one of them people trying to get dodgy mot to just sell and rip off the next owner. Iv seen plenty of people with Chinese headlights and Hid kits. they cant all be running just day time mots.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - unfazed - 28-07-15
What exactly is the problem with the lights? :rolleyes
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - marino - 28-07-15
well my lights are not the best. before I had bulbs with a very dull yelow glow. like a 1950 vespa. I have some blue bulbs they fix the dull issue but Im not sure I could pass with them anyway. I had an offer for a no question asked mot for 75 quid but they pulled out in the end :/
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - unfazed - 28-07-15
What type/make of headlght/fairing is on the bike and what type of bulbs does it take?
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - darrsi - 28-07-15
Sounds like you replaced your terrible lights with even worse ones, that takes some doing. :lol
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - marino - 28-07-15
yeah they are not the best. life lesson things advertised from China just are not worth buying.
was thinking of upgrading to a hid light kit but not sure if it will fix the been shape
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - noggythenog - 28-07-15
+1 on getting a daylight mot, tape over the switchgear and jobs a good'ne
Not your fault if you get cought out after that when darkness strikes but at least you will have lights to use in that case.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - 7omly - 28-07-15
I'm assuming someone in the past has streetfightered it. If it has a standard round headlamp get on the net and get a replacement headlamp for a super dream or the like. It'll be around £30, H4 halogen and will be a piece of piss to fit. It'll be 10 times brighter and will fly through an MOT test. Cheaper still , visit a bike breakers and get it cheaper. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - fatbloke62 - 28-07-15
if you need a headlamp I've got one complete of a ntv 600 yours for the price of postage if it does you a favour and gets your ride a mot
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - Jules-C - 28-07-15
Is it the dipped beam pattern that's the problem? Kicking up to the right?
If you can work out where it should you can mask off the problem area on the outside of the lens with insulating tape. It is acceptable for MOT as long as it gives horizontal dipped beam pattern, left hand drive cars pass UK MOT with beam deflectors stuck on lens.
Re: In Need Of A Dodgy MOT - Paulfzs - 29-07-15
pay me £10 and i will tell you the name of a place in kent that will pass the mot on that.
