Mot fails? - Matt - 23-09-2015
So I have a leaking steering rack, a cv boot with a split and a bj with a little play.
Will these cause the car to fail a mot?
Just need to know wether they are going to be high priority on my fixit list or not

Steering rack leak will only fail if it effects the steering or the oil is over a brake component. Cv boot is a fail regardless, ball joint depends little movement can be advised but you will find most testers will just fail them from my experience. Hope it helps. ?

As bash says tbh
Although iirc inner boots are advise only now.
But bj n cv boot wana be sorted asap tbh regardless

All depends how bad it is and what the tester is like TBH

Are you certain? I've been told a few times they used to be but are now a fail if split?

Tbh, no I'm not lol! Needs clearing up this...
However, as much as its a pig of a filthy job, any CV boot that is split wants doing asap. Makes such a mess and the £8 of a boot to save a £50 shaft makes eco sense

Okay cool, haven't got the time to replace a steering rack before the test. Boot and bj are easy. I'll just chuck one of those repair boots on it. I can't even see the tear in the boot

All cv boots fail if leaking bad enough
RE: Mot fails? - Matt - 23-09-2015
Boots not leaking though. It's just got a tear, must have been very recent, as I've not seen it while working on the car haha
