Van rear doors

[browny]

A goods vans rear doors are locked as there is expensive equipment in,
Is this a reason to refuse to test.?

I would, there is often prescribed area that needs to be inspected in the rear of the van. Just unlock it.

gotta be one of the most common bugbears that I get on vans,side doors are normally in seat belt prescribed areas and rears springs etc.the owners normally fooked off to the pub with the key for the high security locks despite being asked if we can open all the doors beforehand.complete test as far as possible then abandon on dangerous or causing damage cos he wont like me smashing the ****s open with an air chisel....

We don't normally get those problems with loading doors etc, however I do find that most vans I test have been paneled inside so there is not much to see apart from the panels anyway.

yeah agreed,most brand new cars for instance wont hsve cracks/corrosion on the boot pillars by the belt anchors either.dont alter the fact that we are still supposed to look.
