i work in a mot garage and this is the first i have heard of it, if it was true, then 50 per cent of cars that come in would fail! As long as emissions arent effected then wots the problem? Vosa are a bunch of cocks who change the mot test everyday, and all for pointless reasons, as the mot is basically if ur car is safe enough to drive on the road and everything checked has to meet a mininum requirement, so when they bring in stuff like the spacing on a number plate how does this make ur car unsafe?
