As @blip said. WOF only proves it was up to required standard at time of testing. It is still the owner/operators responsibility to ensure the vehicle continues meeting those standards. As a VI we cannot foresee what some shifty prick does to a vehicle after inspection like fitting different rims/oversized tyres, suspension mods etc. Over my time as a VI at a local garage we certainly didn't ‘manufacture’ faults to generate work, generally not a high income earner and usually had plenty of pre-booked work anyway. Certainly got a bit jaded seeing arseholes cheating the system after obtaining their WOF, it’s your signature on the paperwork if there’s a hiccup.
