Escort Si-130 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Took my car for MOT yesterday (Thursday) passed again first time, few advisories though. Nothing major. My car passed better on emissions this time than last year; even though I had a smoke out a few months ago when I messed up the injectors and had a slight head gasket blowing, but used that steel seal thing. Last year 2013 wasCO = 1.067% (limit is less than 3.500%)HC = 463 ppm (limit is less than 1200 ppm) This year 2014 isCO = 1.046% (limit is less than 3.500%)HC = 403 ppm (limit is less than 1200 ppm) Brake Test was also better than last year, although I guess as I had new pads all around, front fitted 2 weeks ago, rear fitted in the morning just before the test. I was worried that my car seems to have gained 88kg in weight though from since last test. I can only assume it may have been my sub box wasn't in when I did the test last year and also I have changed the exhaust from stainless steel sports to magnex stainless steel.Last year 2013 was 1200kg measured vehicle weight, this year 2014 is 1288kg! Service brake 2014 = 65% (pass value = higher than 50%)Parking brake 2014 = 27% (pass value = higher than 16%) Service brake 2013 = 62% (pass value = higher than 50%)Parking brake 2013 = 24% (pass value = higher than 16%) Other stats are; axle 1 - 772kgService n/s, imbalance = 44kgf, max force = 306kgfService o/s, imbalance = 48kgf (8%), max force = 327kgf axle 2 - 516kgService n/s, imbalance = 45kgf, max force = 96kgfService o/s, imbalance = 51kgf (12%), max force = 102kgfParking n/s max force = 178kgfParking o/s max force = 167kgf A celebratory pic after the test http://i58.tinypic.com/rt3nsk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etrebus Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 have you not done many miles as the results from one year to the next are very close ? the brake test results can be affected by tyre pressures and tyre condition and how much the car is loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
