Just realised that the advisory sheet was missing from the MOT certificate on the new car i just bought.

I know there was one as there are staple holes on the certificate. Reading on the back i found out you can review the cars full MOT history and advisory notes online, i never knew this! Worried as to why they (dealer) removed it i checked my car online. Nothing really to worry about and here is my cars history:

This completes the test history for the above vehicle as recorded on VOSA's MOT Computerisation Database


Not bad, only ever failed one MOT! Wonder why they didn't give me the advisory sheet? The advisory notes are not that bad. I can't find the oil leak and the crack in the windscreen is tiny and can easily be rectified. Brake discs nothing to worry about either.

Not that anyone around here's into cloned cars but I can't imagine it's such a good idea to post your car's registration and VIN to a public forum?
 
Some impressive fails here, it's also a nice indicator of when work has been done.

Impressive, only a single fail (which I didn't even see a cert for :p) due to the common M-tech suspension coil fracture which the dealer sorted there and then.

What kind of pedantic jobsworth MOT tester doesn't just ring you up, ask if you want a new bulb for a fiver and then pass the car?

One doing it right, as a lamp qualifieis for a free fast retest before the end of the next working day.

who seriously puts there car in for an MOT without checking that the headlights work?

Someone who wants to know if the car is worth keeping, don't spend money on a car to pass an MOT, without a failure list in your hands.
