or a diligent one ?
I think everyone knows almost any car would pass a mainland MOT. And was that his exact wording on the fail sheet for the tyre ? seems like a strange one.

Yup. Wording along the lines of 'offside rear tyre defective'.

Then good chance it probably is ?
As said, I wouldnt trust a mainland MOT for a minute if you were solely relying on it as a measure of the cars condition or safety.
If the tyre has been otherwise inspected by a competent person and they've given it the ok, then yes may be ok.

Did the car actually attend the Scottish MOT centre? 
Surely your not suggesting they'd post you an mot cert.Did the car actually attend the Scottish MOT centre?
Something like that would never happen

A friends car passed it's MOT in Scotland once. Although wasnt expecting him to hand us the certificate so soon. It was ready on arrival lol. Thought it would actually have to partake in some sort of test.
I've had old cars through that didn't have them.
Unless it leaves something else like an undertry flapping about, then I can't see a problem.

As far as I know it's a £60 fine if (when) you're stopped, ANPR won't be an issue, again that's only as far as I'm aware, I could be wrong.
Cheers, tried working out a route into Belfast (for work) but all roads seem to have anpr! Ah well, I'll take my medicine if it comes to it
I got one on Friday

Wife rang at lunchtime to say hers is up on Friday and she can't get one local until the end of the month. Adamant she didn't get a letter I gave off to her about being careless and losing it...only to notice my own is up on the 25th but no letter for me either. Will be keeping an eye for a cancellation myself at this rate.

Try other centres if your stuck
There not actually required to send out reminders for mot or tax so you'll get the blame, no excuses lol

Aye was looking round them all earlier, got myself booked for Omagh in the morning of 26th so should be spot on. Have hers to take to Enniskillen on Saturday.
When you have it book go online at 9.30 on Monday morning looking to change the date, that's the best time to get a cancellation

Yeah, I'll just be keeping an eye out for slightly more suitable times over the next few days, but it's not putting me out too much as is so not too bad.
