Smart car advisory now removed after DVSA deem it "completely unacceptable"

DVSA launches investigation into tester who left insulting MOT advisory

The DVSA has removed an insulting advisory from its MOT history service and has said that it is investigating the matter further.

The Smart car had failed its test in 2015 because the bulb that illuminates the registration plate wasn’t working.

However the tester also entered an advisory underneath, stating: “Driver looks like a proper c*nt.”

The advisory has now been removed.

Neil Barlow, DVSA’s head of vehicle engineering said: “The comment posted on the MOT history service is completely unacceptable and has now been removed.

“We are investigating this further.

“Since 2017, there has been a profanity filter in place to stop MOT testers being able to include these words on a certificate.”

    Is it not time the government started looking more seriously at the types of characters they let into a professional trade!

    I hope the tester gets charged for removing the advisory and collects a few points along the way. I believe this is a disciplinary offence now to cause harassment and distress to vp’s (However much some deserve it!!)

    This is my whole point about dodgy and unprofessional people doing this job.
    I hope DVSA give him points and a fine.
    The manual advisory is our life line so why abuse it?

    The profanity filter caught me out when
    I tried to advise of a screw in a tyre. Ended
    up with “Helical fixing device”. Device
    wasn’t strictly necessary but it is a DVSA
    favourite term.

    Shame they didn’t act as quickly to sort the manual out and rectify the spelling mistakes appalling grammar and omissions.

    I think manual advisorys should be removed anyway and more options on thevts for non testable items.
