I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that there are ways to get hold of dodgy MOT test certificates although since everything is on central computers now I believed that it wasn’t possible to fiddle certificates any longer. Well to prove me wrong a garage owner has been jailed for 6 months for passing 2,500 vehicles without failing a single one. Video evidence was collected against Noor Hussain for presentation at Preston Crown Court. It showed cars going in and out of the test bay in 7 minutes, it should take around 6 times that amount of time to carry out a full MOT. In one case he issued pass papers for a car that had never been seen. Never!!! Hussain ran Altham MOT Centre from Laneside Garage, Livingstone Road, Accrington. He had to pay £60,000 court costs. So it still goes on, amazing. By Graham Hill
