by preliminary car inspection test, do you mean you didn't take it for the actual road test?

The points you mention appear to be very minor, the inspector must have got out of the wrong side of bed.

I have passed with seriously dangerous faults like a worn steering idler, busted link rods, shot control arms, knackered track rods and shot shock absorbers. Road test here is a waste of time. There is more emphasis on bouncing around from dept to dept - collecting stamps on your arse. Or come back tomorrow - khalas now.

Relax its easy to pass the test.
