Default MOT's suck like cheap hookers

My car was MOT'd today. It was gonna pass even without CAT But on arrival at the MOT station Duncan was greated by the external spot check MOT tester So the plan was foiled They had to fail it and it went on the system Now I have to re mount the CAT and re test and then remove again

Im 2 busy to refit it myself so Ive gotta get the CAT to him it be re fitted and re tested extra cost etc

He said they are doing checks in Essex and Hertfordshire at the mo including road side tests

mega pi$$ed off

Did you know that diesel vehicles do not require a CAT at all

obviously, if yours is petrol, it does

So you'd rather they didn't do their job properly and let loads of un-roadworthy vehicles out onto the public highways!?

Rules are Rules matey! They're there for a reason

I got annoyed when i had my mini MOT'd a while back.. it failed on a couple of minor points, so i took the car away, and did the work, during the time i had my car at my house (only a couple of miles from the testing station) i did not use it... this was over a period of about a month.

When i went back for the retest, he found more points to try and fail me on, claiming i'd driven 3thousand miles!
