Car mot , never heard of this before

My girl took her car in for a mot today , passed with 1 advisory , apparently the air freshener hanging from her rear view mirror , they’ve apparently took it off , was one of those air fresheners that looks like a tree
My mrs sticks them on , I’ve had one on for years & it’s never been mentioned , mrs the same , is this a new thing , I’ve heard them moaning about tables etc in lorries , but never a car
This is what they’ve took out , must admit looks bigger in pic than it really is

i have had it commented on before , as in i didnt see that when i tested it :wink: :wink:

One of my neighbours told me he had to remove his dashcam as the MOT guy came over & said you’ll need to remove that or I’ll have to fail it due to obstruction of field of sight.

Back in the days of tax discs. I had a fail because it was within the sweep of the window wipers.

Ta , looks like it is a thing then

One local to us wants them removing or covered as they say the main concern is their workshop is off limits to customers and public and mechanics/staff are often carrying documents containing other customers personal details which may be caught by a dashcam. I know some of those ‘auditors’ make a similar point about GDPR with computer screens that can be seen throug a window.
