MOT fail thread

Another potential Darwin award winner.
The customer stated that he'd replaced the front and rear pads & discs and also a rear wheel bearing, but was concerned because the ABS and traction control lights were on since he did the work.
Also could I check the NSF shock absorber because there was a knocking noise when stopping.
Ladies and gents, I present the outstanding work he'd done..


The ******* imbecile had only put the caliper bolts in finger tight, and as a consequence one had fallen out and the other one was about to.
Also, somehow he'd managed to destroy the NSR speed sensor which is showing 158mph whilst the car is stationary..

Blue tooth brakes, they're the most modern of all.

Interestingly my mg5 ev shows 158mph on car scanner, but no work been carried out on the brakes/wheels

The bolt drop at 0:14 was fantastic.

Took one of my vehicles to the garage a few weeks back because something was knocking under certain conditions - I was sure it was from the suspension, they went all over it and couldn't find anything. Got home and was putting 1-2 things back in the boot I usually remove when taking it into a garage and slammed the boot down harder than I intended *knocking noise* - turns out a bit of stone had somehow gone up inside the rear bumper and on harder corners or hard braking was shifting about making the noise I was hearing.
 
My Honda FK8 Took a knock on the drivers side front wing, caved in the wing a little bit and pushed the liner down, which rubbed a little. No rubbing now and been driving it for the past 3 weeks while waiting for parts and bodyshop

Its due its mot in a week. This wont fail the Mot right? or even be an advisory? would not look good if they advised damaged to the wing on the cars history?
