indeed ?

[RS2000&MEXICO]

you now need a locking cap for an mot as it will not pass without it

but most of the mot stations don't even look
but if they do then if will fail without a locking cap on..... :cheers:

[lee bishop]

[Trickster]

Cheers i better keep hold of mine then just incase and i was going to give it to lee

I think the "Locking" description of a cap required for an MOT doesn't refer to it having a key, it refers to it being positively fixed into place and sealed so that fuel cannot escape.

In other words a temporary fuel cap that just pushes into the filler neck is a failure, but a bayonet fitting cap (as per a standard Mk2 cap) is fine.

I remember this from my days doing MOT's (a few years ago now mind you)

The cap on the eBay link shown above is no good for a saloon, it's for the van and Estate - I bought one for my Van and it's different to the saloon type.

I concur, as there are vehicles today without a locking petrol cap
