MOT oddness

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I did a quick check on the MOT history of the 156 this evening....



Last year, it was given advisories on perishing front suspension bushes. I told my wife not to worry about them until the suspension became noisy (common issue with all Fiat group stuff on that floorpan)....



This year, different MOT tester, and it has come back without a single advisory.



No wonder the general public don't trust MOT tests.



Oh, and my 75 was given an advisory on all 4 tyres today. This is not good - it means I need to sort a set of tyres *and* buy 12 months tax ASAP.



Argh!

its down to the mot tester advisory's are not mandatory & you can issue advisory's fro non mot related items, i might advise on something i think may need replacing or checking in the future & our other tester might not. but what i do do is check on the system with most cars that come in if they have been issued with advisories.

This came as news to you?

Now ordinarily I'd be well up for posting so as to wind up Steve, but here, I'm genuinely not.

Surely, surely but surely, you'd know that the tyres were on their way? Surely?

Not really. I knew the tyres were a bit iffy. It's just a complete PITA to be getting it back tomorrow and having to spend another 500 quid on it just so I can drive it.

Having put some 2mm tyres on the back of the Ka and new ones on the front, it was a laughable experience...

Lol!

We've had the best ones put on the rear and the crap ones on the front for now....

But it's RWD, so that changes things ;-)

Thought you knew better. Guess I was stupid for assuming you were more competent than that.

Nice use of the greengrocer's apostrophe there.
