MOT Passed with no Advisories. Do Have a Question Though

[steamship]

So after changing the brake fluid myself the other day, with help from those here, I took the car for the MOT two days ago. It passed with no Advisories at all, so must have done the brakes properly, but I have a question.

It wasn't until much later in the evening/night that I realised that the tester did not follow procedure and test everything that he should have. Now he was a decent enough bloke and asked about the car, and I had no reason to complain about him, but I'm of the opinion that I should raise a complaint.

Now I suspect that there may be those out there that might say I was lucky that he didn't check everything, but that's not the point. I'd rather find out that my front wheel is about to fall off and have the car fail the MOT, than find out about it the hard way.

I don't know the MOT procedure in the rest of the UK, but in NI, it's all done by a government body, and is split into three sections in the building. The first section deals with visual checks of parts around the car, inside and out, the second section deals with brake and suspension effectiveness and the last is a visual inspection underneath the car. That's broadly speaking.

Everything that the tester missed was in the first section (while I was in the car). He never checked the ESP/ABS and traction control, wipers, windscreen washers, windscreen, horn, spare wheel or seat belts. The majority of these I check myself anyway, except the seat belts (I never have), so I know they're working. I hate it if the car fails the MOT because a single brake light or single indicator didn't work on the day (like last year with my nephews Defender), but set belts are a different kettle of fish. I could get into 'what ifs', and of course the MOT is only a 'snapshot' in time, but it is a concern.

So, what say you?
