You can see how varied test results can be from tester to tester..
Some are SO strict it's unreal. They can only look at a rule book. I think they are covering their own arses which is fair enough or maybe just lack of experience.
When I did my MOT course, I think only half of the people there were actually bike mechanics or had much experience with bikes.
For them. Free play is free play. Black is black and white is white. That's not how I look at it.
You also get people who are having a shit day and just fail a vehicle for the sake of it. It can be a sadistic game too. Of course, you also get bad places who will fail something as they expect to get the resulting repair business.
An MOT is a basic safety test. It's standards are actually very low.
When you find a good tester, stick with them...
