I took my Z3 for it's MoT yesterday and thankfully it passed, but when I got home and looked at the certificate there was an advisory on it which said "under trays fitted".
I was a bit confused about this statement so I went back to the garage, where I have been taking the Z3 for 16 years now, and I was told it was to protect themselves, as he had another car in for an MoT, and a few months later the brake pipe behind an "under tray" had burst! He said that they are not allowed to remove any tray to inspect any item behind, plus it would take too long to remove and replace the trays for the MoT. He also said that he puts engine covers fitted as well, if he cannot see the items underneath to inspect.
So does this mean that every car with under trays fitted will have an advisory on the MoT? Has any one else had this? Or will it be a case of removing the under tray to have a clean MoT certificate with no adviseries on?
