Anyone know where in the mot manual it would tell him what standards to test the brakes to? Car is a Sylva Star 1984 Q plate

No weights printed on log book

The link above is a third party site - I'd use the official manual here;

Specifically Vehicles of Unknown Test Weight.

My MoT man has an Automated Testing Lane or ATL - the roller tester (Bradbury) reads the weight of the axle being tested.

The Locost did have trouble jumping out of the rollers but it seemed to pass fine
