Question: What is the VTS's protocol regarding non-stop mold in brake fluid during MOT inspections?
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) is responsible for conducting MOT inspections in the UK. While the provided context does not specifically address "non-stop mold" in brake fluid during these inspections, it is important to clarify that brake fluid deterioration and contamination are not directly related to mold growth as typically understood. However, consistent or excessive moisture in brake fluid can lead to various issues.
During an MOT inspection, if the tester identifies any signs of potential moisture in the brake system, they may suspect a breach in the sealant or other components designed to keep the system dry. This issue could be a concern for road safety and vehicle performance. The tester might require immediate attention and potentially additional tests to ensure compliance with legal standards and regulations.
It's important to note that VOSA's protocol and procedures are outlined in their technical manuals, which may provide specific guidance on handling such issues. If you are seeking detailed information about mold-related concerns or specific protocols for brake fluid conditions, it is recommended to consult the relevant sections of these manuals or seek expert advice from authorized testing centers.
