ive just passed my test this week and the vosa inspector was quite thorough and i had a bit of a sweat on!
when i finished the car he asked me if it has passed or failed.i said passed with 3 advisories.he then asked me about the n/s/f tyre as he thought it should have failed as it was below the limit.we looked at it and my boss and me said it was over 1.6mm,he said he thought it was under.we got the official depth gauge out and it was 2mm.he didnt like that but conceded defeat.
apart from that though he was quite a fair chap though.
