It's a pass. We only check cap for presence and sealing abilities and security/corrosion.

The fuel access flap only becomes a problem if during pre-checks the flap prevents the tester gaining access to the cap itself to remove it. If that were the case the vehicle should be refused a test.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.
