    I'm with Inactive on this. When Honda showed me a car with no spare wheel, I laughed and told the salesman that I wouldn't dream of buying a car without one.

    Unless these idiot manufacturers get that sort of feedback from their sales droids, they will go on doing this sort of thing. Only consumer pressure will stop them.

    The problem is if having a dodgy spare fails an MOT, you'd just take it out for the test. My current spare is illegal (or at least its worn to the wear markers...), and while I have no intention of using it (officer) it seems a bit stupid to fail the MOT for having it in there, bearing in mind I can always just take it out come MOT time.
    Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.

    The tyres and wheels

    Their condition, security, size, type and tread depth. Spare tyres are not inspected.
