I don't know about now but there used to be plenty of dodgy test centres in the UK. a garage I know just used to phone for a certificate on a car for sale and send the apprentice to collect it, the car never went near a test station. You also have the problem of testers finding imaginary faults to generate work.F##k im moving to states the test over hear tests just about every part of the car and it must be as good as the day it was made and its for any car over 3 years old! and finding a shady tester?? Well youll find a rocking horse sniffing gold dust first
It's a bit better in France, MOT every 2 years and the test centres are independent businesses and cannot be linked to garages.
