as an ex tester i would say its dam near impossible to fail an mot if done to the book, every thing is pass and advise according to vosa
absolutely. most of test criteria is opinion. bulb out fail. tyres bald fail. play in head bearings hmm. play in wheel bearings hmm, and so on
Testers are always happy when they test my Ducati because they get to ride it around their carpark (to test the brakes, mainly). The guy testing my Alfa cornered in it far faster than I ever have. It was quite impressive - I was wondering if he wasn't trying to smoke the tyres.
I made the mistake of posting similar when my 851 passed and had someone cancel out my jubilation (won't do it again). You celebrate away mate
