V.O.S.A - a total disgrace of an organisation !


Recommended Posts

Van M.O.T'd in November, stopped in Feb by vosa - ordered a the van needed a new M.O.T, stopped in May by vosa - ordered the van needed a new M.O.T, stopped yesterday by vosa, found a very minor fault that needs correcting inside four days, then maybe just maybe the van won't need a new M.O.T, surely this is verging on intimidation and corruption by our already disgraceful government Transport Minister, add on to this the vast numbers of police who are there to protect em must cost a fortune. I wish they'd realise they are potentially putting people out of business ? and whats the point in having an M.O.T if they can overrule it at will ? which they do gleefully.

So to all van drivers, try and stay off, Penistone rd, Hillsbro, Barbot Hall Industrial Estate, Rotherham, the link rd between Tankersley and the M1, and Stocksbridge By-Pass, oh and nearly forgot - the dual carriageway from Swinton to Mexbro, Rotherham - these seem to be where good honest hardworking motorists get harrassed the most, and lastly this is in no way aimed at the police who reluctantly agreed they'd rather not be there as it was a waste of their time and did not agree with it !

What was the very minor fault that needed correcting in four days?

 

Did you need a new MOT certificate in the end?

 

Rear coil spring, he left his phone number to ring if it gets done in four days, you cant just buy the spring you have to get the whole unit = £178 :|

What were the two previous faults? Wouldn't a broken coil spring affect the handling on a laden van?That may be why they thought it was dangerous..?

they must have had a good reason to order a new mot the previous times, if not then get the vosa parsons name and ask to speak to their manager and get everything in writing

 

you can't be clever with em and do things like that cos they could make your life even worse by impounding the van, i believe, well they act like they can do as they please, they are a nightmare utterly, totally - no other way to describe em !

previous faults were the spring on the other side, and believe it or not one breaklight was out, on that occasion they made us walk to the car spares for a new bulb before we could get back in it, that was at mexborough !

the mechanic who has the van has said its 'nothing' and looks like its been like that for ages, even one of the policeman said when some springs go it could rupture the tyre, but this one was nowhere near
