The test is only proof of the car's condition at that time on that date, and it is therefore the responsibility of the owner to ensure within reason, that the condition is maintained for the whole year. Admittedly there are some things we cannot examine easily but certainly the basics can be observed, and attended to.
I do not consider that a PASS is down to luck but more preparation and awareness, as is the condition of the vehicle in readiness for the more extreme weather ahead.
Yes, mine passed.
