Carcraft daylight robbery!

molerat

Nothing surprises me about car dealers, I looked at a car and as it was the high end model it had fancy wheels. I went back a some time later with the intention of buying it and noticed the wheels were now the basic ones.

- they're not allowed to remove any covers as part of the MOT.

but this does not stop a mechanic from removing them though

I think the point about MOT's not removing covers was to counter OP's complaint that the MOT report said they hadn't removed the cover, rather than to claim they couldn't have stolen the wheel.

Yes true, its not part of the MOT,so would not be on the MOT report, but it still does not stop anyone from removing the covers. either way their is no call for more abuse by Slowhand

If you are only requesting (and paying for) an MOT it does.

Paying or not still does not stop anyone from physically removing a cover.

Its just like you going to a store and paying for a loaf, but you also decide to take just take a tin of beans without paying. It may be illegal/unlawful, but nothing actually stopping you from physically removing the goods
