My motorhome passed its MOT 7 weeks ago. Yesterday I found the exhaust lying on the ground. It had completely broken away. All bar one of the rubber mounts were badly perished. The one good one had snapped due to the strain on it. There are 6 rubber mounts so 2 must have fallen off on the road. An advisory on the MOT states a slight leak on the exhaust. On closer inspection the pipe from the exhaust manifold to the middle box is completely corroded on the join. Just a small amount of metal holding it together.
It doesn’t bare thinking about if this had happened while driving. It’s pure luck it decided to “fall off” while the vehicle was stationary.
To report to the DVSA the 28 day time limit has expired.
It doesn’t give me any confidence in the MOT system.
