The best fail ive ever seen is when i used to share a garage with a friend, he had just put a volvo he had just bought in for test and had asked me to go see if it had been dropped back off at the garage and if it had passed, there wasnt even a fail sheet with it just a hand written note on the passenger seat saying " monty this car is scrap "

Ive had a standard car with orange plastic filters int he lenses fail because "the indicators arent orange enough"
Ive also had an advisory for rear disks on a 1.8 cavalier, I walked back into the test centre and asked what was wrong with them apart from never having been fitted to the car in the first place!

my fiesta failed on handbrake no working to full affect, so went to drive off, down to the bottom turned round come back up and done a handbrake turn out side, then asked them to retest it.
it failed again was only making 15%.

my scoobie failed cause jap imports dont have side lights when the ignition key is removed and told me i have to rewire the car to get it through
EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN IN THE FUCKING COUNTRY 7 YEARS AND DONE A SVA
so took it to a garage who i look after,,,, and he passed it,,,,, the emissons was worrying but he dontated the CO levels of a rover 75 on the other ramp and sorted that issue out pmsl
my advisory reads " needs rear tail lamp bulbs" as he said that he had to add something and the only issue with is it is the emissions
THEN the car was vosa'd 2 weeks later,,,, AND FUCKING PASSED SOMEHOW ???
ment to be .3%...... mine was 3.89,,,,,, and he reved the bollox out of it to get the reading that low
he said the cat may need changing,,,, the cats fine though,,, its hanging up in the warehouse at work ha ha
