A VOSA Vehicle Examiner would not normally issue a PG9 prohibition to a vehicle that is subject of an MOT complaint. They still can do so, though it is frowned upon, as it deters people from making the complaint! (thats why I left that bit out!) Yes the PG9 effectively voids the exsisting current VT20.
Usually the common sense rule is applied. If it appears that the owner will not take remedial action for serious defects (Cat of Defects applies) following the Vehicle Examiners report before using the vehicle on the road it has to be done to protect all. Most MOT test defects only result in the issue of inspection notices IAW the CofD though.
Yes I agree that VOSA does advise government on technical issues, but you know how long it takes to get new legislation in......
Ooooops! I may be giving away what I do for a living here!

I would like to point out that VOSA does not make the rules. The law does that. Section 45 of the Road Traffic Act & Construction & use to name the main ones.
As a vehicle owner, driver etc it is down to you to ensure that it meets the minimum statutory requirements at all times while in use, not just once a year when the MOT comes around. If you obey the law, then your car would never fail the MOT!
It would appear that you have not been provided the service you paid for by at least one of the testing stations that you used so you should make a complaint to VOSA. this will put you out a little admittedly as you will have to submit your car for a re-examination by a Vehicle Examiner (better to be safe than sorry though and in your particular case should be free of charge). You will then recieve a report on your vehicle condition and a thank you letter. Then the tester(s) at fault will be dealt with accordingly. I should point out that once issued, a VT20 MOT certificate cannot be revoked and remains valid until its expiry date (the law again).

Hope this helps!

Hi to all members of this marvellous forum.....
Recently aquired one 2001 3.2 MV6 Special automatic, although a post I read a few weeks ago said that they don't exist?
I have a few complaints regarding the vehicle and would welcome any comments or suggestions.
1. It is too fast.
2. It is too comfortable.
3. It feels like it is on rails on bends and roundabouts.
4. It sounds very angry (growls) when pressing the right pedal.
5. The rear view mirror does not have a zoom mode to see the front of the vehicle I have just overtaken.
Should I be concerned about any of these problems?
I don't really want to buy another car just yet!
Many thanks.
