Broken Door Handle - Mot Failure.

[CaptainP 2]

Hi all, is a broken door handle on drivers side (from the outside) an MOT failure? List of jobs to do but higher priorities first.

Cheers

I think it is - possibly something do with emergency services needing to be able to open the door in the event of an accident, etc.

Hey I'm a tester and yer unfortunately it is a fail, if you can't open the door from the outside because the handle is broken

Aha, never mind... Best get it sorted then. Thanks for the quick replies guys.

does it fail if the handel is broke on the inside but works from the outside?

I think it does now, was brought into the test quite recently. I'm sure there are a few testers on here who will confirm either way.

[joshsnoad 2]

inside handle is also a fail, windows dont matter

Possible if you gave a lift to girl and she told the cops you tried it on and they saw you handle would not work from the inside you might be in big trouble!
