Think this is the main thing, instances of extremely dodgy MOTs where the car "subject to the inspection" hadn't actually ever been on the tester's ramp!

Wonder what the photo bomb ones will look like just wondering if it's got anything to do with a spray you can buy that stops the speed cameras getting a photo of your number plate ?

Just imagine if Evri took over the job of carrying out MoTs. They could do as they currently do for parcels: take a photo of your car on a random MoT ramp somewhere and you have to guess/deduce which garage the car is actually in...

And then, at the end of every month, all their 'lost' cars end up at a boot sale somewhere - all with 12 months' MoT...

Caught just in time there Husky - are you cleaning up and treating the full length of that, err, chassis leg section?

I'd give those threaded studs a good wire brush then there's less muck and corrosion for the nut to ride over/through
