2 'advisory' items on last MOT, only 1 this time, but no work done inbetween....

So what you're saying harvey, is customers can now see potential faults on a car by looking at the advisories online and wanting it fixed before they buy?
What you would seem to prefer is they can't access this and hopefully they'll not pick up the faults/advisories so you can sell them the car without this work being done first thus increasing your already inflated profit?

Thanks people. I just wondered if he had access to last years data in some way, and would check those things on the advisory to see if they had been done.

Historical advisories are on the database if the tester bothers to check.

Personally, when I am advised of something suspect (which because I don't agree, haven't had repaired) I draw the testers attention to it the next year.
Better to be safe than sorry.

The annoying thing is from a car dealers point of view with advisories as the customer can now see it online.

To see the MOT history (you need the number from any computerised MOT certificate for the car you are interested in):
