    Its easy to hit "default" on lots of the screens! :D

    At the end of the day, its still HUMAN intervention which is saying "yes, this ball-joint is ****ed"...the computer system is just a database.

    The only difference with the computerised MOT is that instead of writing out your MOT it is printed off from DVLA main database. The only part of the actual test that is linked to the computer is the emissions test and I've HEARD of places that just put the stick up another cars exhaust.

    The rest if the test is still decided by the tester weither it is fit to pass or not.

    Computer says NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    same as lunner.... the only difference is that i believe they log into the mot database at the start of the test when it begins and then the test should be carried out for 40/50 mins long before they issue you with your new test certificate!

    i'd prefer knowing that my car is up to the minimum UK standard by having a legitimate test.

    emission failiures indicate a decat or other fuelling probs.

    VOSA run spot checks on garages using decoy cars cuntz

    dodgy MOT's can be done, as said before it just's human error if they don't spot something that wants changing and emissions can be fiddled by sticking the probe on another car, but at the end of the day its only a matter of time before they're caught for fiddling MOT's and shutdown/have thier licence revoked!!!
