    Why would the MoT test numbers on the certificates pictured above be so wildly different? It's not as if they actually conducted two separate tests! 
    Yes, it is - because they did, at least as far as the computer entry is concerned. They didn't have to perform a full test the second time, just a partial re-test, but they go down as two tests. One fail, one pass. If it was just one test, there would not be two entries.

    Test numbers are random, not sequential.
