Well they can check it online, or phone the MOT station that did the test, the garage's phone number will be on the MOT..

It doesn't actually bother me when VOSA visit, I've been testing for 13yrs on the 25th of this month.. if I can't test a car properly by now I really shouldn't be doing the job.. the thing that pisses me off when they visit is that they censored up the rest of the day by taking forever to re-check a car and all the paperwork and stuff
