« on: 08 June 2017, 04:58:46 am »Took the car for MoTYes I think they have too, has happened to me too, I sat in the waiting room and he came in and said I have a brake bulb out and do I want him to pop one in for £3.99, yes I says and the same as you I get given a pass certificate and also a fail for the brake light being out.
So midway through he calls to his partner about changing a wiper blade there and then to save me a 'fail' and trip to Halfords. Okay I go along with it.
The car passes with indicator bulb advisories and he gives me the MoT certificate...... along with refusal cert due to faulty wiper blade
Not a problem but ......
Same happened to wifes car, as the car has actually failed at the time of the test then I think they have to issue a fail certificate.
crazy, but, i suppose it's good for their records to show they aren't giving passes away
Sounds like a twat of a tester to me, mine failed (potentially) on a rear brake light bulb and the tester just told me to go fetch one while he carried on the test, he fitted it, car passed.
Had the same tester for three years now and last time him and a new lad had a bet on it passing/failing, new lad was amazed it sailed through even passing latest emission test even though it didn't need to being an import.
