I heard this story from my wife today after she came home from work. the son of one of her work colleagues took his car driving test yesterday. the test was at short notice, and his driving instructor was not able to be with him. so he got another instructor to give him a couple of lessons before the test. he has his own car which is insured for him, taxed and mot`d. this is the car he took the lessons in immediately prior to the test and then turned up at the test centre with.
now apparently so the story goes. he was told he could not do the test in his car, because at some time in its history. this model had been subject to a recall from the factory because of a braking issue. and because he did not have proof that it had been rectified, he could not use it.
does this sound right?
please bear in mind I heard this story 2nd hand. so the facts could have been twisted. but I would have thought a current mot was sufficient. or does a factory recall over ride this?
thanks, steve
