Failed!
But he let me drive it home afterwards so can't have been too bad.
Self centering didn't work on left lock! Does work on black top but the Avonmouth test centre has crappy block paving!
Couple of edges on front suspension
Bottom edge of dash
38% imbalance on rear brakes, but 86% efficiency on front and 31% efficiency on rear.
HC 880ppm  CO 5.05% 
Noise 99 dB 
Couple of areas to tidy up wiring
Routing of front flexis (mine are too twisted)
And the big one: Roll bar needs bracing to give more support for upper seat belt anchorages.
Other than that, had a great day and my first legal drive!!!!!!
Had a couple of crotch rockets of the lights too which made me smile!!

blimey - an almost copycat failure to mine, apart from the emissions & selfcentring
at least you know exactly the areas to fix.
... yeah, it is good to take it out on the road, I took the scenic route back.....
