Unfortunately with this shower the test is conducted at a separate sister site so i couldn't actually watch the test in progress. Thing is if I used my post hole crow bar in the pre test i could probably find any number of issues but that would be excessive.

I use one of those we only mot places
and find them to be more fair as there is no small garage connected to it
"so they don't say next door will sort it out"
could have been one of them new shake it to death machines that wrecked the bush
little tip inspector gave me with my jim was air down the tyres so a lot of the shaking
is absorbed by the tyres ;)

Someone on here said the shaker is not as efficient as a man. Like the idea of dropping the tyre pressure. Also how low to drop the pressures as I have a 20 min drive to get there.

Shame you are not local to me because I could "help" with this issue. :(

If you want easy MOTs get a motorbike! I've built up an old bike for greenlaning and took it for an MOT the other day. The tester wrote down the number plate, we chatted for 30 minutes and he gave me a pass certificate. He didn't even start the engine, which needs to be running for the lights to work!

Hastings from Harrogate for an mot is a little bit far even for me. Thank you for the offer though.
