That's not an uncommon one. It means "my view of some components was
restricted because of undertrays".

So what happens when the car starts rusting above the under trays?

You die in a crash but the MOT tester has covered his ass.

the undertrays collect the rust flakes so you know nothing about it.

I think it's like the 'child seat fitted' one that I get, meaning they
are unable to check one of the seat belts.

What if a farmer takes his landy in after driving cross country and
through plenty of cow**** ?.

In my experience, a lot of backstreet garages, when they need to take
them off to do any work, they never replace them.

Or worse still, damage them, lose some of the fixings and only half
fix so that it falls off when you go through a pothole or over
a speed bump.

The MOT is allowed to hose that off to get a good look at what
is under it. They arent allowed to dismantle the car to get a good
look at what is under the bits they remove to get a good look.

Fark, just as well I dont live there. Mine is usually the dirtiest
in town and even the cops have a smirk and a snide remark
when they do a breath test, usually the women cops.

15 years on I found out there was supposed to be an undertray under the
engine. There never has been. Main dealer serviced only up to that

Indeed. Neighbours SIL bought an 06 Insignia in 2011. first owner
was Enterprise car rentals and the sevice book showed full service
by a Vauxhall main agent in Slough and indicated that plugs and
air filter had been replaced at correct mileage. ....
except that the air-cleaner and the pollen filter were almost
black with ****e and both had manufacturing dates of early 2006
which means they were the originals from new. !!

A mate used to take on quite a few company vehicles in his garage if
they kept them on after the warranty period.

They were all typically 'stamped up' with the right service stamps
from the main dealer but it was obvious many things had never been
checked / adjusted / replaced.

Some years ago I had a Seat Ibiza - the first model produced entirely
under VW control. I damaged the undertray in a flood, and the dealer,
when i asked about the (not insgnicant) cost of a new one , they said
"don't bother, we take them off the high-mileage Inca (VW Caddy) vans
because all the fixings wear out with all the oil changes", so I didn't
bother, but now personally I'd rather have them for the dirt and noise
reduction.
