This inspection does not apply if no drivers or front passenger's doors were fitted as part of the original design of the vehicle.
A lack of door handles because of original design characteristics or specialist modification is not a reason for rejection provided the door can be latched securely in the dosed position.


Open and close the drivers and passengers' doors. Check that each latches securely in the closed position. Check also that front doors can be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle.


thats an interesting point..... Stubbsy - it doesnt say nething about needing a mechanical method of opening the car - as longer as u can both open and close the door it'll pass

that site also doesnt seem to mention reverse lights - I may just be missing it - but this would indicate that theyre not part of the test
