This looks like it is going to be fun. Although it seems to be aimed at car and van tests at first it must surely come to HGV/PSV testing before long.So if your headlight aim, RBT readings, smoke, etc etc, fail 1st time it is going to get automatically recorded via data link. No discretion any longer for testers to repeat any part of the test because of an extended waiting time to undertake the test. I am still waiting for a reply to a complaint two years ago about their software not recognising pre 1968 brake efficiency requirements.
The usual procedure as I’ve always known it is if it fails either get it fixed or let the testing garage fix it then resubmit it for a ‘retest’ sometimes of just the offending component and usually without any further test fee.Also what happened to the other usual rule it only has to meet the test standards in force at its registration date.
