i refer people to the heating of the steering component
an mot tester is fully in his rights to fail any steering component that has been treated to excess heatHe seemed to struggle for quite some time using a large bar to undo whatever he needed to to align the wheels, eventually he brought out a welder to apply heat to loosen it up. He completed the work & I paid.
this is the VOSA exact wording reason for fail.
