That's how it should be, instead of failing a car for the most insignificant little thing.

I heard of one recently here that failed because one tyre 'looked' underinflated. I believe it was about 3-4psi lower than the others. I know it's for safety reasons, but why not just do what your tester did, pass the car and tell the driver to get it sorted ASAP.
