Certain additional reasons for rejection ("rfr"s) or failures for class IV, V and VII came into effect on 1/1/2012. The key ones we think you need to be aware of are as follows: CATALYTIC CONVERTERS missing where one is fitted as standard (and subject to a full cat test) will fail. Fuel pipes or hoses excessively chafed or damaged will fail CV/Drive shaft boots at BOTH ends of the drive shaft will now fail if they are damaged, split or insecure sufficient to allow the ingress of dirt etc Inappropriate repairs or modifications to brakes/suspension/steering will fail Excessively worn drive shaft support bearings, eg prop centre bearings will fail Drivers seat not adjustable forwards and backwards and locking in the chosen position will fail Steering Steering and suspension ball joint dust covers will fail if they are missing, insecure, loose or damaged sufficient to allow the ingress of dirt etc. Steering lock stops will fail if they are incorrectly adjusted, missing, loose or damaged. Significant steering box oil leaks will fail. Power steering fluid level below the minimum mark will fail. Power steering pipes and hoses will fail if there are excessively damaged, corroded or fouling another part of the vehicle.
