Hmm, are WOF tests a bit more strict and like the UK MOT these days? When
I was there (left circa 2001) they were a little odd - e.g. very big on
things like "visible rust", but very few checks done for the actual
soundness of body or chassis components.

A quick dusting over nasty spots on a vehicle with a can of cheap spray
paint the day before the inspection could work wonders, allegedly.
