Just looking at my cars MOT history. The last three MOTs have all been at the same place and it's passed each time.However, in 2016 there's a fail for headlamp aim, immediately followed by a same-mileage pass.

I watch them do it each year and they've not touched my headlamps, nor was I told they'd failed and then passed it so I'm surprised and annoyed. Aside from the fact they've lost a loyal customer what incentive would they have for quietly making up a fail?

I'm annoyed because they didn't touch it or make any mention of recording a fail. This particular place it's quite small and the viewing area consists of a sofa in front of a big window directly in front of the ramp. They generally start the timer, stick it up on the ramp then go of and fix another car for 20 minutes. If I thought both headlights were out and they'd adjusted then for free is be overjoyed.
