bloody car failed mot...

some things are fair enough, abs light,brake binding, but others im peed off about. braided lines missing pin to stop it wobbling(passed 2 years in row without issue, maybe got lucky thosie times)

things it has always passed on before last 6 years, clocks don't have kph as well as mph. fog light mod not passing due it not being 100mm away from brake light. turbo timer not allowed. never had issue in the past with these.. ](*,)

why would you need kph in this country?! seems a weird fail! (not saying its not in the MOT regs mind, just seems weird that it would be)

Other stuff seems fair enough though

fog light mod not passing due it not being 100mm away from brake light. Not part of MOT test.

turbo timer not allowed. Not part of MOT test.

MOT test in N.I. is same test as rest of UK except:

1.) that tests can only be carried out by the ministry in their locations, so there is only a very limited number of locations that you can go for a test.

2.) You are required to display the MOT on the windscreen.

Neither of which cover the tester being an ar$e. Either appeal or go elsewhere.
