MOTs are complete bollocks
Something integral to the functioning of the vehicle not working? Not interested.

they have nothing whatsoever to do with the mechanical running of the car. That's your responsibility.

He's not a mechanic.
That means he is entirely absolved of all personal responsibility for maintaining his car, or something.

I did replace some bulbs before my MOT
It didn't help when my car wouldn't start on Tuesday morning.
