30% of cars fail on something.
TBH it's normally the newer stuff, the owners assume it'll be fine so they never check anything.
The older stuff has to be in reasonable condition to still be around!
Sapph's -
Back end of sills
Rear brake pipes
Back chassis rails
Bad earths on lights.
they're the most common.

MOT
I usually get some cock and bull story about the brake test having to be done on the road as the rollers will damage the lsd in the rear diff. Sure this is an excess to give my car a thrashing round the block, but at least they a fair in general with the rest of the test!

Cheers lads, as a treat I gave her a wash before for being so understanding toward my wallet. A cossie with a conscience, now there's a first!

I've never tested one on the road as I'm sure no harm is done on the tester. But some inspectors do it 'old school'
we are perfectly within our rights to take them down the road.
