An MOT failure? Surely not! 
Let's hope it's a cheap fix then.

It seems they changed the MOT rules to exclude the older honeycombed effect plates for cars post 2001. I know some manufacturers actually fitted such a plate when sold new, Merc being one I can remember from back then.

Honeycomb plates been been an MOT failure for years, shows that your MOT station doesn't play by the rules....
