Dealer and failed MOT

Ooh - this has just prompted me to have a look at the new (draft) manual. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mot-inspection-manual-for-class-3-4-5-and-7-vehiclesAnd then from May 20th it!!!8217;ll pass if both wheels on the same axle had a space saver. Pass again with 4 space savers fitted :rotfl:
As you say, no mention of space savers.
There seems to be quite a measure of subjectivity between 'major' and 'dangerous'. I can see a return to what it was like when I first started motoring in the mid-eighties when various MOT stations had a reputation for being 'strict' or 'lenient'. Especially as 'dangerous' means that the car can't be driven away - so they have a captive customer.0 -
It is going to be more subjective indeed!0

What exactly can they (legally) do to stop the customer driving away?0 -

They could have simply made "suitable speed rating" apply to class 4 and stopped that.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
