a. General When investigating possible incorrect test standards VOSA will judge what the condition of the particular item would have been at the time of test.  Points will be awarded on the basis of what that condition was judged to be.   A single defect will not be double -counted. For example, only one score is merited by a single area of corrosion covering adjacent body panels or components within 30cm of two critical components, but two separate areas of corrosion in a similar position draw a double score. b. Penalty Points Penalty points will be awarded as follows for each defect when VOSA judges that the defect was in the condition described below at the time of test.   1. Any defect missed on a testable item that would, in the opinion of VOSA, involve a risk of injury to any person if driven further.   40 points 2. Other excessive corrosion, wear or damage on a testable item missed.   30 points 3. Other failable defect missed on a testable item. 20 points 4. Item failed is not testable. 20 points 5. Item failed has no defect, (i.e. not a case involving an error of judgement). 20 points 6. Error of judgement (e.g. failure item ‘advised’, or ‘advisory’ item failed)   a - Judgement obviously significantly wrong 10 points b - Judgement obviously wrong 5 points c - Judgement overruled but only marginally wrong 0 points Appendix 8.2 – Incorrect Test Standards 8.2 The MOT Testing Guide Issue Date April 2005
