The IVA inspector was less bothered about my ill Westfield than I was. He was happy with the emissions and speedo (still not working) from the previous test. I expect he may have had some sympathy for the bad luck was having with the car.

It didn’t take him long to rattle through the previous failure points and tick them off. He may even have just wanted to see the back of the car! I was duly handed my IVA certificate but there wasn’t much time to reflect on that as I had to turn my attention to getting the thing home. I placed a call to the RAC and waited for them to arrive…
