Spitfire1500 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi everyone,I've been gradually seeing to my 206 before it's MoT next week; but I have one query about the backbox. The outer skin is pretty scabby, crumbling away and now quite sharp in places.I am wondering if this will count as an MoT failure, or if it is likely to be passable - as it still has it's inner skin intact.Thanks in advance,David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebobby Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If it's blowing it may fail (depending on how good/bad the tester is) if it's not blowing and is not hanging off, it should pass. Our Honda Jazz has a very rusty/crusty back box, it's not blowing and that has passed 2 MOT's like that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire1500 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cheers for your reply Firebobby,I don't think it's blowing, but I'll try the old tea-towel test with someone or hand test and check for leaks underneath.Thanks again,David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Get a can of exhaust paint and paint it should only cost a few quid,as long as its not blowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 "The outer skin is pretty scabby, crumbling away and now quite sharp in places"Those sharp bits could cause lacerations to any pedestrians you happen to run over, especially it you reverse over them.
