That only applies if you actually want a new MOT, not if you are just reporting the garage (IIRC). 

I went through the appeal system a few months ago with my Defender.

I think you've missunderstood, he has a car that passed the MOT when quite clearly it shouldn't have done.  I don't call that bleating.  I've taken a car for test before now that I didn't expect to pass so that I knew what needed fixing, but then I know a couple of good MOT testers who are very fair but very thorough so that I know exaclty where I stand.

BTW, one of them told me VOSA are now checking up on repairs to cars presented for retest so as he's a mate he came and lifted the carpets on a car I had welded up whilst I was putting it back together

Terranosaurus:
I was once bidding on a Mk2 escort at auction and it got down to me and a friend of my other half so I let them have it, 6 months later they sold me the car for less than they bought it for  :D

Anyway the car was being sold with a fresh 12 month MOT and the friend was an MOT tester, when he got it back and had a proper look at it, it was a real rot box and there was no way it should ave passed. He reported the garage, many, many miles away so not his competition etc and I beleive they got a big reprimand, can't remember precise details it was 8 years ago. The car was repaired by him and then more by me and continued on for sometime after but the rust on it was quite obviously there at test - floor pans were hanging off etc - before anyone says we should ave looked at it first etc - yes we should but as it sold for £100 or £200 and I later bought it for half that (as I say details sketchy now) and this was from an estate auction not a motor auction so different viewing we didn't but at the price we were willing to take the risk - such is the nature of auctions. Wish I could still buy Mk2s for that sort of money.
