You dont have to have a spare tyre and if you do it can be flat bald wires coming through blebbed anything as they will not look at it. The only time a spare tyre could come into an MoT is if you have a shit car ;) that has it mounted underneath in which case they will check it for security!

The thing they put in the dipstick hole is a temperature probe which they could bypass but they still need to be able to open the bonnet!

They open it so they can stick something in where the dipstick goes.

ive pushed it down, but 3 big marks, and have a bit of trouble opening the bonet.

they do open it to have a look around the engine bay.

on the new system you just drive it in through the doors then the examiner takes it from there and u have to sit and watch while they shake the poo out of it!!
