I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels strongly about this, I'd rather have a fail, than a pass when it shouldn't.
The mot test is seriously easy/slack anyway compared with some other countries.
The last garage I reported was done by trading standards also, they sold a galaxy mpv with two completely jammed rear calipers to a woman with 4 or 5 kids, all young kids as well, found out it was a special deal, as a neighbour worked there.
When tested on rollers there was ZERO action from the rear brakes, plus numerous other failure points.
