Not one taker, Tell me what you do when you find an insecure wiper blade, a corroded drum backplate, a fouling brake hose
Things were so much easier (old manual) we’ve been done over, remember they left off corroded brake ferrules in the changeover, what about the other stuff .
The MOT is about safety, yeah right.

I have told them it was sh1te from day one listing all the omissions,mistakes and appalling grammar etc in emails to DVSA.
I have also tried on matters of testing which only proved they don't listen and are too far up their own ar*e to even consider they might be wrong.

The beatings will continue until moral improves !
The newness has gone off that bit!!!

	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.

The system has been corrupted, a spanner has been thrown in the works, government departments across the board though , the whole lot of them seem to be set to a mode of self destruction.
Too much money has been given to the wrong people to undo what was right.

Comes across like Sky net taking over and nobody is fighting back. Arnold is still on his own fighting

Know what you are saying but a worn ball joint over a perished grease boot ? what is the most likely to fail and if they appealed the results by the 28 day for a mechanical detect these days ?

There is a distinct lack of understanding of the English language in the mot system we have to work with.
These are supposedly university educated people who cannot string a coherent sentence together.
Having been told by DVSA that the mot paperwork we hand over is a legal document I then asked where do you see can't, won't, isn't etc in a legal document ?
They said it is easier to understand ! well it might be for poorly educated fcukwits like them for everyone else it's chav speak.
I have given up trying to educate pork.

The beatings will continue until moral improves !

I were well into the pint cans of Heineken red star when I posted this edited version I spotted the blob of grease and advised slight play in the bottom ball joint the VE checks it and says the grease boot is split ! I can give you points for that !!! Ok show me all I can see 👀 is a blob of grease he asks for a rag and wipes it clean and there is a cut of about 3 mm You missed That did I I saw a blob of grease did you spot the slight play in the bottom ball joint that I did ?? That I’ve advised ? No he says I jacked it back up and showed him and he agreed with me ! Ok these points you are threatening me with can You show me where in the testers guide That wiping a grease boot clean with a rag is a adequate method of Inspection? And I will hold my hand up on a fault You have engineered !
