Makes interesting reading does that.
My Blackbird has been through seven MOT's while I have owned it. It has failed on three occasions, each time being tyres on or below the legal limit. These are recorded as failures despite me having the work done there and then. Next time I'm going to say change the tyres then do the MOT, as opposed to do the MOT and fix what you find wrong. Not that it matters but I think they are throwing in a few fails to keep the stats right. I've never been told my bike has failed, ever!
The other interesting fact is that I have covered almost exactly 20,000 miles in the seven years. Not bad considering it's only really used for the odd summer evening blast and a few nice touring trips. Most, if not all of those miles have been pure grin factor. Unlike the 157,000 miles I covered in my previous company car over just shy of four years, they were mostly motorway grind around the UK for my job!!
might have a look for a few more of my old cars and bikes....see if any have been doctored!
