I've never understood why people get all stressed-out at MoT time, if you're riding the bike it should be in safe condition all the time not just one day a year. I've never had a bike fail on anything other than maybe headlight alignment or something daft like that.
Getting cross with the tester because he won't pass your bike with square wheel bearings and brakes soaked in fork oil is just stupid.

Aye....... It shouldn't be rocket science..
However, I've had bikes fail in the past though over things I had no idea about..
de-aminating number plate for instance. Even thought it passed 5 times before at different places in the same condition. It was peeling slightly in one corner. He then charged me £20 for a new plate... T**t.
I had a bike failed due to no rear foot pegs because I hadn't removed the pillion seat.
Crappy stuff like that..... Pointless regulation interpreted by idiots.
