Took a car for a vic check today,all straight forward apart from having to shell out £36.
Took a fortnight to get an appointment arrived 10 minutes early man with clip board asks the following questions

have you removed all valuables?
is it safe to drive?
is the battery secure?
has it had fire or flood damage?
has it got an immobilisor installed?
you then have to sign his clip board and print your name

10 minutes later he gives you a stiifcat to get a log book

quite straight forward really ,but i did glue down the chassis cover in the floor to give him a bit of a sweat on

>>>>>>>>> fire in case there are still carcogens? burnt bits of rubber on car that can cause cancer or need limb removal
flood?,i assume because it could be ex sewage flood water which wouldnt be healthy to man nor beast.

Yes I'm aways wary of the big signs at Simpsons about burnt synthetics. "Viton, It can be found in gaskets, 'o'rings, oil seals, drive belts and electrical items."
Didn't twig about the "effluent" with flooding.
