Took car in for MOT, hour later tester rings up saying: "I cannot test your car. Since the introduction of computer-based MOTs, the brake test needs to have the vehicle weight. There is no figure coming up for your car. I have rung the [testing people whatever they are called] and I have spoken to Honda and neither have the weight of your car. The test will have to be aborted, you will have to pay the full fee, get it weighed at a weighbridge and return for a full retest."

I usually lose coherence in these situations, but I was close to tears and managed to say: "I've taken a day off work, it's never happened before, and it's not my fault." (sob!) He went off the phone to 'take another call' and returned saying the testing people had rung back to say he could do it via a test drive carrying a decelerometer.
Job done, advised to get the vehicle weighed before next test to make things easier.
