Failure to arrive on time may result in vehicles being refused test along with losing your test fee. It is up to the staff at John Whiting Ltd and the attending member of VOSA staff whether if a vacant slot should become available if the customer may remain on site and take that slot. Depending on the circumstances there may be a charge for that vacant slot for the full test fee as well.

There will be no refund for non-attendance under any circumstances.

Failure to comply with any of these terms and conditions will mean the customer agrees to be charged in full as if they would have attended their test slot as originally contracted.

VOSA

VOSA Staff have the authority to abandon a test if they feel threatened or assaulted in any manner. This will result in vehicles being refused test along with losing your test fee. Other results may occur like being banned from the Test Station and possibly others.
