LMAO! I did think that was a bit boring of a failure.

I actually had a car fail for that reason.

But it was the garage trying to screw me over as it was working when I collected it and showed them. but they made me book in another MoT rather than certify it.

needless to say never went back there.

Well yeah, if I had a garage try and tell me I was a proper cunt, I wouldn’t want them to certify it.

The best part is that would’ve been printed on the receipt that got handed back to the customer.
