For example I just paid out £600 for a failed airbag ECU, and associated warning light , which is an instant MOT fail

No just the most safety critical: Tyres, Lights, brakes, suspension, steering, structure.

I have had a suspension spring worked fine but had a small crack, brake pad thickness, corroded brake lines (under the fuel tank) and a sticking rear seatbelt (some muck had dropped in the belt drum). Failed emissions once saved by redex! Bangernomics are fun.

quite a few things are checked

36% of cars fail first time currently!
