Like I said earlier James its good too see how professional you are at your work (I even mentioned it in your for sale thread!!!), but I have taken quite a few cars to the VIC centre and honestly never seen them spend more than 10 minutes(being really generous) checking the car out.
I watched a few in fact and it was literally open bonnet,check vin (most of which had been reattached due to accident damage),quick check of numbers (and I MEAN a quick check as in 45 seconds) and we're away!!
Point taken that when your in the game a while you can spot something naughty a mile off but perhaps down in sleepy Wales their not quite as strict,surprisingly though as Swansea was one of the car crime hotspots of the last 20 years
