13. An examiner and an inspector appointed by a designated council or the Secretary of State shall not be under any obligation to carry out an examination of a motor vehicle where—
(a)on the submission of a vehicle for an examination the applicant does not, after being requested to do so, produce the registration book issued under the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licencing) Regulations 1971 relating to the vehicle, or other evidence, acceptable to the examiner, inspector or Secretary of State, of the date of the vehicle's first use or manufacture and the chassis or serial number given to the vehicle by its manufacturer and, if the manufacturer has also given the vehicle an identification number, that number also;
(b)the vehicle or any part thereof or any of its equipment is so dirty as to make it unreasonably difficult for the examination to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations;
(c)the examiner or inspector is not able with the facilities and apparatus available to him at the place at which the examination would otherwise be carried out to complete the examination without the vehicle being driven and the vehicle is not when submitted for examination, either for want of fuel or oil or for any other reason, fit to be driven to such extent as may be necessary for the purposes of the carrying out of the examination;
(d)before the carrying out of an examination of a motor vehicle any things which are on the vehicle, and are not part of its equipment or accessories, are required by the examiner or inspector to be removed from the vehicle or to be secured in such manner as he may think necessary and the things are not removed or secured accordingly, and
(e)in a case where the fee for the examination is payable in advance of the examination the examiner, or inspector, or the Secretary of State is not satisfied that the fee payable for the examination has been paid as required by Regulation 20(2)(a) or (b)(i).
