and trailer defects that attract only advisory notes at annual roadworthiness tests are about to become failure reasons.
The change, driven by European legislation to harmonise vehicle testing standards, Directive 2010/ 48/EU, means that defects printed in blue in the current Vosa HGV Inspection Manual will be upgraded on 20 March and will lead to test failure instead of an advisory note.
