Yep. A nice diversion from a boring day for a VOSA inspector or youngish plod-in-a-car.
Plus no easy record of when something was last checked and how many miles it may or may not have travelled since that time.
The potential for aggravation
could, and I stress
could, be quite high. All to save £40 odd quid a year for half a dozen outings. (Or something like that.)
