You wouldn't say that if you had failed some of the cars I have while vic testing.
It's a visual inspection, so has many limits, but I fail to see how you know how or what is done, as the test is not allowed to be watched by law, and the testers have to sign the official secrets act to complete the tests, so nobody can find out what is actually done
