MOT defects: Sub-frame condition
Body, chassis, structure
6 defects: 3 dangerous, 3 major. 3 can be given as an advisory instead.
| Certificate wording | Severity | As an advisory | Inspection manual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-frame condition has a fracture which is likely to adversely affect braking or steering | dangerous | None | A main load-bearing structural member fractured or deformed such that steering or braking is likely to be adversely affected |
| Sub-frame condition is so deformed it is likely to adversely affect braking or steering | dangerous | None | A main load-bearing structural member fractured or deformed such that steering or braking is likely to be adversely affected |
| Sub-frame condition has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering | dangerous | None | Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that steering or braking is likely to be adversely affected |
| Sub-frame condition is deformed and structural rigidity is significantly reduced | major | is deformed but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced | A main load-bearing structural member fractured or deformed such that structural rigidity is significantly reduced |
| Sub-frame condition is fractured and structural rigidity is significantly reduced | major | is fractured but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced | A main load-bearing structural member fractured or deformed such that structural rigidity is significantly reduced |
| Sub-frame condition corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced | major | is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced | Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced |
