You would, if you were the tester!

It should have been a failure right there and then. Just think of all the stripped cables and opportunities for shorting/fire hazard.

Upon what criteria would it be a fail? There's nothing in the testers manual for it, we can't just make up fails these days lol!

Even if the owners rat arsed it still shouldnt fail.

Had this when we lived in Nw Zealand. We had an old Toyota Camry station wagon, (nice car, eager V6 engine) but one morning Barbara opened the glove box to get her gloves, and there he was ! Mr Rat himself !

Imagine trying to explain to an insurance company that your accident was the result of being attacked by a Rat

Mice rather than rats I think, but the car was parked up for the best part of a year, which is when this would have happened and I’ve been driving around with a hole in the filter for well over a year since then
