Incredibly rude MOT forms revealed as customer gets called a 'proper c***'

Two incredibly rude MOT forms have been revealed on the official DVSA (Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency) website.

One mechanic, obviously not happy with the customer, referred to him as a "proper c**t".

The expletive appears on a government website underneath reasons why a Smart Car failed its annual inspection.

The car originally failed the MOT because the bulb that illuminates the registration plate wasn’t working.

But in an advisory underneath, an employee added: “Driver looks like a proper c*nt.”

The advisory notes are written by the garages who carry out the test.

Staff from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) then simply copy the notes over to the official website, which is searchable by the public.

And another x-rated post has also emerged on the DVSA website.

For a Ford Sierra, whose MOT expired on May 30 2016, the advisory notice items include:

  • very loud shade of dog d**k red Dangerous
  • chassis black covering the complete underside of vehicle including bumpers
  • loose nut behind the wheel
  • large yellow lollipop makes steering dificult (sic)
  • engine missing
  • found it under bonnet
  • dead bugs on windsheild (sic)
  • live bugs on order
  • crack on windsheild (sic) outside the swept area
  • the crack is good

The  Gov.uk  website describes advisory items as being provided for advice but “if they became more serious, your vehicle may no longer be roadworthy and could require immediate attention.”

Neil Barlow, DVSA’s Head of Vehicle Engineering said: “DVSA’s priority is to help everyone keep their vehicle safe to drive.

“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.”
