Apologies if you thought I was arguing. I was simply correcting your assertion that to have a bald tyre as your spare was 'illegal'.0 -

Yes, yes it is. It must be late. I meant the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (which as replaced VOSA).0 -

.should he typically be charging for this -to change this tyre?
(as the tyre has been not provided by him)
anther customer wanting something for nothing, eh?
mot's do not check spares wheels inside vehicles, if they are underneath & maybe badly cracked & perished in a very poor condition that may get an advisory.
another question if you know the vehicle will fail on a tyre heavily worn out possibly under 1.6mm why are you driving a car with defects.0 -
Yes, he should charge for this.and the main question is:
should he typically be charging for this -to change this tyre?
(as the tyre has been not provided by him)
As above, three points on your licence will cost more than changing a wheel.
Sorry about the font. Not sure how to make it normal

He's not arguing just correcting your mistake.
You don't need a spare.
It is not part of the mot test
And the boot isn't opened during the test, so it won't be seen.
You will not be issued with an advisory for a defective spare.0
