It's not only vosa that can intentionally look for the smallest thing to fail a car on. a few years ago i got a "free" mot test from citroen main dealer for my saxo and the tester failed it because of incorrect headlight beam and the sat nav was mounted to high up the windscreen. To say i was not happy was an understatement. I removed the sat nav and asked if he would give me 5 mins to adjust the beam or if he would adjust it for me. He wouldn't he said i'd have to book in a retest and he was too busy that day and couldn't fit it in for another 9 days. What a coincidence outside of the free retest period. After a few choice words i left the garage and went straight to my regular mechanic who booked me in straight away did the beam adjustment then failed the car on emmisions. This just wasn't my day i thought. To cut a long story short the car no longer lives.
