Thinking about buying a car, little runaround work to home. Guy who want to sell me a car just passed the mot on it. Could anyone knows what the letters and numbers means at then of the monitor and repair as necessary :
Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))
Offside Rear Shock absorbers has light misting of oil (5.3.2 (b))
What means the 5.2.3 (d) (i)","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52240124","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2024-02-20T18:08:55.000Z","text":"You need a new tyre, and the seal on your shock has blown, so you'll need to replace both shocks"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52240958","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Charger1969"},"datePublished":"2024-02-20T20:10:48.000Z","text":"Shocks always come up with a light misting of oil, wouldn't worry about it, I've had cars with an advisory for light misting of oil on lots of cars, never got worse, if it eventually fails the shock test then replace both sides at the same time.
If they are both advisories then they are not a fail, tyres can still just get an advisory if the test deems them safe.
If you send me the reg I can do a full check for you including damage etc."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52240091","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2024-02-20T18:05:34.000Z","text":"gov.uk/gui…ion"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52241114","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bigwheels"},"datePublished":"2024-02-20T20:31:59.000Z","text":"Last September my tyres were 3 years old and only done 10k.
I got an advisory for cracks.
I think the tester was hunting for issues."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52242954","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"CourseFinder"},"datePublished":"2024-02-21T08:15:47.000Z","text":"Thank you guys!
