bricking it!

been there done that just let the inspecter show you what he has found be careful what you say to him he is not your friend or mate take a note of the reg find out if is a trade car sales and then tell the trader to take a long walk just take the points if any write a letter of apolagy and try and learn from this experance most of the time it does involove a sales car ie some one has bought a pig of a car and its your fault

Just a few points really.
The ve doing the re inspection is definitely NOT your mate, so don't say anything incriminating that you may regret at a later date. Your 1st answer is the one that will be used to issue points against you, so if something is broken or worn out & you are asked to comment on this point out that you would like to think about it before answering.
Have a look at your old vt40s & take as many as you can your notes could be invaluable. Take someone with you if you can.
Remember that you have the option of appealing any decision made & good luck
