An example was a crack on the rear bumper. It was quite minor (in my opinion), but it was listed as a fail item on the test sheet as it 'presented a risk to pedestrians should them come into contact with it'. The test station said if you stick some duck tape on it the it will be a pass. There were other things that were totally reasonable, but this crack was ridiculous, especially when the remedy could be as simple as sticking duck tape over it.
And the only thing I was worried about when I dropped the car off, it passed on no problem - emmisions.
