My driving instructor says that I am doing rather well, so it is certainly an element I should cogitate upon further.

Hey Cody, do you own or operate a vehicle over 3 years old? your post makes it seem like a walk in the park!!!, example ..... my car failed an MOT because the bulbs in the indicators, although orange, were not orange enough, also ..... one light in a switch on the dashboard did not illuminate although the switch functioned as intended (Hazzard Warning Light Switch), All four corner lights on the vehicle flashed as required, but unfortunately the switch didn't flash.
Change the bulbs and get stung for more money on the re-test
Get Real, just saying

If your vehicle fails it's MOT test ...
Should the vehicle fail, you will be issued with a VT3O Certificate stating the items causing the failure of the MOT test. Make sure that you are clear as to what rectification is required for a pass to be issued. In certain cases expert or special services may be required regarding emissions or welding.
There is no set time limit before a retest and it is at the discretion of the individual. Remember - a car that does not have as current MOT Certificate is not allowed to be used on the road except when going for repairs for an MOT test, or to a prearranged MOTtest.

Is that just emissions? I'm pretty sure here if you spend $100 something on "trying to fix the problem" you get a waiver. The mechanics basically just charge you the price you have to pay, tell you what's wrong, and you don't actually have to fix it.
At least that used to be the case as far as I recall.
