Does anyone know if there is a time limit as to how long can a vehicle remain at the test station to have repairs done before it requires a full retest instead of a partial retest ?
Something along the lines of a vehicle remaining for many days while having welding done, or an odd-ball vehicle waiting for a spare part to be shipped into the country, etc

My understanding is that as long as it stays at the mot station and does not go on the road ,not even for a road test after repair !! then there is no time limit

I guess I will soon find out when I try to register a Partial Retest (Repaired at VTS) next week... The vehicle was initially tested 3 weeks ago! Been waiting for parts

Hummmm, What happens if the Battery fails after the long period and is started with a full test item fault that is not covered within the partial test check as a pass. Do we advise, fail, pass.
I have a vehicle that failed weeks ago with also a detail fault re DVLA data base. I will see the time lag from DVLA first then carry out the repair and submit for partial retest,it may not be for months !!!!!!

A vehicle can stay at at test station for two years and as long as it as not left the station it can still have a partial retest,as i was told on a refreasher this week,but i expect some other vosa guy will have differant opinion .
