Just passed! No advisories.
Took it in early to avoid the end March advisories - needn't have bothered.
Most of the new rules are effective from 1st Jan with no advisories. A few of the new rules come in 1st April and they are advisory now.
Column lock - advisory now.
Things like abs, traction control - all they do is check that the light comes on at the dash when ignition turned on and then goes off after 2-5 seconds (in other words you can't take out the bulb or fuse).
Tyre pressure sensors – must work if fitted on cars used after 1 Jan 2012. I was told this means cars effectively registered after 1st Jan 2012 (which won’t be due for an MOT until 2015 – they are not moving to 4-2-2)
When the car is logged onto DVLA at start of test it prints out a series of checks specific to the car – so there were very few for mine.
