Default Really p***ed off, what can the problem be?

Hi all,

Failed my MOT last year as all 4 tyres were bald on the inside, got em changed and had full 4 wheel laser done on it.

Just failed the MOT today with both fronts and NSR bald again on the inside? any idea what the hell is can be?

worn bushes somewhere and p/s always wears the inside plus negative camber doesnt help, if you have all 3 tyres dont last long

they also failed mine and the wifes car for the following:

due to oil level below minimum level emissions not tested [7.0]

just checked the tester manual and cant see anything under 7.0. I will give them the Peugeot as that was low but the Scoob was nowhere near, backed up with a full oil and filter change last week so I know its fine. Oh and they gave me a caution advisory on the Scoob 'undertray fitted' WTF?

Laser alignment won't check camber. Start with a full geometry check. May show up knacked bushes but I doubt it as the MOT should have turned them up too. And the car would drive like crap.

Someone knows what they are doing will be able to sort it in about 25 mins for about £30

Thats nothing more than the tester being a pr1ck tbh, you do check the oil level to make sure it's ok for the emmissions test as you run the engine at about 3000 rpm, but if it's ever low i just top it up slightly or just run the test anyway, you can normally hear an engine rattling/knocking it's head off due to low oil when driving it onto the mot ramp before you've even logged it on to test.

You think that's bad I have had an advisory for a jelly bean airfreshner hanging from my rear view mirror,he claims that it obstructed my vision.
