Yup, I agree entirely. This was a small cut in the middle of the tyre, wouldn't have seen without removing wheel and I wouldn't have considered it a fail. I think the mot tester may have been a bit over enthusiastic, but decided not to argue ..

Just got PS5's fitted to our car. Slightly disconcerting, but MOT at dealer with third year service I was advised fault because of cut in front tyre showing cords through. Fair enough, ordered two new tyres, went to get the car and discovered it was actually a rear tyre. A "tick box" error...
