Seriously what's up with MOT testers and trolling advisories... Is it because they can? Few examples of potential purchases: -Dots on front wiper blades -Brakes making a noise -Unable to check passenger seat belt as babies car seat fitted, car seat very loose And whats with the engine covers and under trays fitted... Aren't all cars fitted with them nowadays. My beautiful 2006 Honda Civic 2.2 diesel, complete with sat nav and cruise control, had been flying through its Mot every year without no advisories. Last year it failed on... A side light. Tester had the cheek to fail it then proceed to fit a new side light bulb then pass it, then bill me £2.50 for the bulb. Cars due an MOT this month, wish me luck and pass me the whisky. Rant over and good night!

+1, can’t access my tracked vehicles. Which may be a blessing in disguise.

We've just switched MOT stations again for the umpteenth time. For us they mostly start off half sensible but the advisories always seem to increase month on month, quarter on quarter no matter what the car until you're convinced they think you're seeing their missus behind their back. It's so blatant it's as if they genuinely don't think we'll realise they're trying to milk us so hard. As for all this 'doing the job right because we're scared of inspections' what a load of old tosh. I know there must be some reputable firms out there (if anyone knows of any please let me know) but half of them are just getting in their monthly parts bonus or trading failures they buy on the side on facebook and gumtree, and you know they're not re-testing them quite so stringently when they've just bought them off a victim for £100. Apologies for the rant but I have yet to meet one that applies the same rules to his Brothers/Sisters/Uncles/Wives car as he does to mine or a young woman/elderly ladies.
