Re: MoT today
I think the point is that being insecure, something could snag them and rip them out thus rendering your ABS useless. I think it's a fair enough one to fail on.

Re: MoT today
Probably the latter. Strict testers are a good thing. Jobsworth ones are not.

................. he took more time identifying a smear of wet mud as a split and leaking gaiter than moving a loose wire 4cm into a clip

Re: MoT today
Mine took me under the ramp and said "it's just scraping a pass so far because some of these pipes are furry and I had to try for ages to get the emissions down, but <taps rotten pipe> I really can't pass that I'm afraid. <taps rust on subframe> See, that's rusty but it's all there and it's solid. That pipe is not. Helpful explanation, honest, not a jobsworth. I know a few who'd have failed it on some of the other pipes that are sound.

Re: MoT today
Sounds like we like testers too, to be reasonable and helpful like the whole world.
