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

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

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!
