A depot can refuse the veichle if its got less than 3 months m.o.t or if once they do there own inspection on receipt of the veichle and as too many jobs on it they may return it.
Then its down to the departing depot to either repair it or fleet allocator to replace it with another veichle as is what happened with 2675 due to less than 3 months m.o.t and 2616 which had a long list of repairs that needed doing.
Hence 3012 came into replace 2675 which I believe we was going to get eventually anyway and 2614 came in to replace 2616

Arriva definitely work differently to most other places then, in this case regarding 66850, paperwork would have been sent up before the bus leaves Ipswich showing its MOT date, they would have been aware what vehicle they are recieving and would be able to check MOT date + all 28 day inspection sheets and see what condition the vehicle is in, again in this case the bus never moved from where it was parked and is somehow "deemed unfit" and dispatched back down in less than 24 hours....
