The testing standards are quite simple to understand, many seem to have forgotten the concept of the word "Test"
A test is to ascertain minimum standards, in no way is it a service and repair scheduled do your own thing.
I test plenty of cars every week, customers expect the screenwash topped up, failed bulbs to be replaced ETC.
If the testable items meet requirements, all good, if not the action is taken as either an outright fail, or the term "PRS" can be effected whereby the tester can perform headlight beam adjustments ETC, but the "PRS" will issue an immediate fail, and then issue the pass afterwards.(pass with rectification at station)
Vehicle servicing will not include headlamp adjustments unless it is painfully obvious that they are wrong, also the service agent will need the beam setting equipment to set alignments accurately (Effectively an MOT bay).
On subject of headlamps, the amount of vehicles I test where the driver has the internal height adjustment in the wrong position is amazing, even with tiny cars without tow bars or any ability to carry heavy loads.
Tyres are the one that are the most regular failure, these are partly due to the "Pub Talk" concept of how and where you dip the tyre with the depth gauge, or guess the testable area, wear blocks give some of the idea, but not the whole truth, as the sipes of the tyre are included in most cases.
So there is a level of annoyance to the owner of a vehicle in for test, but for the tester, he has to comply for his own future as a tester, he can be awarded points against his tester profile, fined for abusing the system and worst cases be imprisoned. It is for this reason, compliance is rule no 1 before even reading any of the tester manual, or listening to the "Pub Talk" sessions frequently heard up and down the land.
