Agreed, I'm not disputing the way its done. Just querying the 'why' it's done.
Seems daft to fail it, adjust it (turn a dial, flick a switch, move a sat nav), retest it then pass it.
When flicking a switch or moving an obstruction is all that's required to meet the 'pass requirement'.
I agree with no repairs to be done during the test, without that, an MOT becomes an open ended task but in my opinion if there are no tools and no parts used then it's not a repair it's an adjustment/setting change.
