Mechanic advised that new pads were needed on the front, ended up with pads and disks, and it still got a fail on headlight aim, why on earth did they just not adjust the lights!
Ok passed it straight afterwards, but did not need a fail.

I think the tester was right to fail the car, unless you had specifically asked that headlights be adjusted prior to the MOT.

It is not reasonable to expect the tester to fix items during an MOT test. The only way around this would be to pay for a non-certificated MOT equivalent set of tests to be done first, followed by all the work and then a proper MOT.
