    Hi All,

    The missus is doing her test next week in my car. For the last while the front passenger door hasn't been opening from the outside. Will the tester allow her to take the test in it? It only dawned on me today that this might be a problem.

    Thanks,

    Paul

    the tester has to be in the front, i dont think they are liable to climbing around the car.

    sorry but gotta get it sorted

    well I meant to say that the door opens fine from the inside. It's just the outside handle that doesn't open it.

    Main reason for not getting it fixed was the 350 euro quote I got and that coupled with the fact that I'm picking up my 2010 Skoda Superb the day after she does her test in my passat ....

    ok so...

    she'll be in the car before him doing checks like lights and all anyway so just get her to open the door from the inside before he gets to it and he'll be none the wiser ;)

    You could chance just having i open and he will most likely never know.

    The passenger door on the tester's side should be working properly and, in particular, should be possible to open from the inside as well as the outside.

    Thanks that's conclusive enough. She'll have to put it off and just do it in the new car.

    If it's more than 10 days to the test, your wife can defer her test without losing any money. If it's within 10 days she should just go for it. As a previous poster said, your wife will already be in the car so she can open the door from the inside and the tester will be none the wiser.

    The important word is "should" as opposed to "must" which is used for absolute requirements. As brian076 says, go for it - you've nothing to lose if it's next week. I can't see an examiner abandoning the test because of a defective door handle.
