the correct fee in respect of that inspection has not been paid;
the particulars provided at time of application are found to be substantially incorrect;
the vehicle, or any motor vehicle by which it is accompanied, or any part of or any equipment of the vehicle is so dirty as to make it unreasonably difficult for the inspection to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations;
the vehicle, or any motor vehicle by which it is accompanied, emits substantial quantities of avoidable smoke; or
an examiner is not able to complete the inspection due to the failure of a part of the vehicle, or any vehicle by which it is drawn or intended to be drawn, which renders the vehicle, or any such accompanying vehicle incapable of being moved in safety under the power of the vehicle or, as the case may be, of the accompanying vehicle.
