Just witnessed an MOT test, at a specialist centre, on SWMBO Getz (first test at 15,000 miles). Not seen a test for decades and the degree of automation was impressive.
The machine which shook the suspension sidaways reminded me of a terrier with a rabbit.
The brake testing seemed to be very extended and was repeated all round as far as I could see. Was worried though about the new tyres locking up on the rollers.
The whole car was lifted up at each end by what looked like a bare steel bar- that made me cringe as there was no apparent protection for the underbody. The revving for the emissions test seemed a lot higher than the 2000-3000rpm mentioned on the test report.
Passed OK as I hoped. But sheer vehicular torture!
