MOT Question - Battery Inspection

[Mike Hamblin]

I had my first MOT on Friday morning  21/06/24, AK gen II, My battery is boxed in, in the boot, I made the call to remove the panel so that the MOT tester could see it, Glad I did as he did ask me where the battery was so that he could check it.

Thanks. I had a horrible feeling that it was something that was enforced.

Its the security of the battery if not clamped down. Some now under the rear seat in BMW's . They will never check that. If the battery is loose they can fall the car.

Hi,
Mine is coming up for it's first MOT.  I was reading the online MOT manual and noticed that there is a requirement for the Battery to be inspected during the MOT.  Mine is boxed in so isn't immediately accessible without a few changes. 
Has anyone else had a problem with having the Battery boxed in and not accessible during the test?

Thanks,
Mark
