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
when i booked a test for a volvo v70 in local vosa station (haverfordwest) i transported car there on a trailer as it wasn't insured. i did not even remove it off the trailer or take it inside the testing station as it was done in the car park outside the building. the car had been in a flood so was not damaged in any way and looked as good as new. that though is surely not the point. some official secret. who broke the law in this case, me or the tester. in my one and only experience on this matter, i can say without any doubt in my mind, it is a money making scam.
