Live in the states and in my state a leakage to a shock absorbed is a fail on vehicle inspection, energy body mount suspension bushings are often overlooked.
Cars older than 40 years were notorious for bad rust, so it seems amazing they don't require testing, also MOT's should change to every 2 years like the rest of Europe as modern cars are much safer.
This guy must take about 6 hours to do an MOT. Never seen anyone use an assistant either. Is this remotely accurate? Usually get the car back in about 40 mins.
Most of it is an absolute CON. Most things are safe enough but get failed as if it's a total danger to life when it's really just in danger of breaking and just need a new one. At worst, it would hang Down, or interfere with having a smooth drive then you'd have to park it and not really being able to go too far until u get a new part. And that's the WORST case IF it were to collapse/break. Most of the time it's been running around in for months & months like that already. There really is NO excuse why after an MOT that one year later all these different parts are absolutely rusted to F or so worn they are dangerous. Everything should be seen, replaced and good to go for like 2- 5 years or so. Just Imagining your average person's car, not someone that goes racing it every day for hundreds of miles or else an old woman who drives it once a week a few miles. Just an average person. But yet you always seen to get things they find when everything was fine the previous year. They think we are stupid & ignorant on cars, so are preying upon that. There should be a law that the MOT stations are ONLY MOT stations they can't profit from failures, people having to pay them to fix it & get parts to then retest it. THEN You would get far, far more genuine tests with no vested Interests involved.
totally agree becouse it all totally subjective /opinion. I NEVER ever take my car to mot garage that does repairs and if theres a garage that does repairs in the same bloke az the mot centre i dont use that centre either . best mot centres are the counsil/local athority run ones.

It is a pity a older vehicle is not tested

vosa...dvsa..ur mots aint worth the papper they are printed on its just safe from the day and time off test
So true. MOT legal doesn't mean road legal. Ain't worth shit.
Its not worth the paper its printed on
The driver is responsible for the safety of their own vehicle, mot test helps you along the way.
jason gardner you said that already
Believe this bull sh** if you wish. The tester can interpret the rules any way he wants to, and you have no recourse.
Justa yearly rip off.
agree there no way id let that old cunt mot my car .
Lol. You're not an engineer! Far from it lol. You are just a checker upperer.
fucker upper more like .
M.o.t is a waste of money
Idiot
