Whilst I don't care that much, as its an error, an MOT test station in London made an entry error or something like that, as although I had a clean
pass, the single MOT event shows up as a fail then a Pass in the MOT history of my old jalopy:

The different size tyre fault is bollocks and doesn't relate to my car at all.

Anyone experience this, can I get it removed??

Tester made a mistake then rectified it, do you suffer from ADHD?

If you're keeping the car I wouldnt worry, and even if you were selling it, I doubt it would give a prospective buyer any cause for concern. There is no way to prove that you didnt present the car like that unfortunately

Ps. Could you let us know the testing station, so we dont ruin our impeccable mot history please :D

To be honest it would bother me on some of my cars and not on others. I only have OCD for some of them :D

The way I see it, it is an incorrect record and can be removed.

But have you talked to the MOT centre?

well i'm now in a similar situation myself.

had my mk5 vw jetta mot'd last week, it failed on the handbrake not working properly & a seized rear caliper,

replaced both rear calipers (cheaper to get a pair instead of one) & did the handbrake cables (i never want to do them again).

took it back for retest today, he checked it over, tested the handbrake & the rear brakes, gave me my pass ticket but when i checked it they had now put the rear brake caliper not working as an advisory!!!

when i challenged him about it all i got was "well, it's passed aint it?" & walked off,

anyone know how to go about getting this changed?
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
