It was originally booked in for PSV test on 3rd November 2016, but missed the slot because it wasn't ready (it wasn't repainted until 11th November 2016 and then would have required work to be undertaken to prepare it for test).
There were no more tests available in 2016 and the only way it could have been tested is if it was carried out at another ATF (as opposed to locally at Deptford Depot where PSV tests for the south division are undertaken). I believe 6141 or 6142 was recently tested at an alternative ATF - at Scania on Pattinson Industrial Estate in Washington, if my memory serves me correctly, but Deptford must have made the decision not to do this for 699.
