And the beautiful QP passed with flying colours, no advisories, everything in top shape the man said.
Always nice to know

Always good to get a clean bill of health. I was gutted when mine failed due to a worn out tyre (inside edge) after 11 years of all clear notices.

My Golf failed a couple of days ago, I asked the MOT tester to do a pre-check (knowing that there were a couple of bits that needed fixing like the horn and indicator issue) and he goes and logs it on the database. I was ******* fuming! It makes the owner look bad for submitting a car with something obvious like broken horn etc....
I don't think they have a choice any more, do they?
Perhaps one of our testers can confirm.

Mine failed - cracked windscreen that got worse and worse - replaced two days ago on insurance, nice job, Maserati part (£2k apparently) and no clicks left on handbrake, being sorted today hopefully.

That's probably the right approach. I think Catchap is right, an MOT tester can't not fail a car which wouldn't pass, if that makes sense. Bollox, innit.
If you ask them to inspect the car as a pre-mot then they can just like anyone can give the car a health check in between mot's.
I *think* to run the test, they need the computer. Could be wrong though.
