nope all they can do is give you an advisorary.
I can't find a reference in the MOT manual to it but as others have said I'm sure it's a requirement to secure the battery. EDIT: just seen posts above...below still valid though :)
Having said that, a valid MOT doesn't equal a roadworthy car. An unsecured battery is going to fly at a considerable pace if it gets out of the engine compartment. I suspect he was done for the unroadworthyness aspect.
Edit: spelling
The law and an MOT are different thingsQuote:

I got a list and a 10 page statement including things like broken clip for front bumper, gear stick too short, no doorcards, no interior door handles and pointless things like that. I also had 2 bald tyres and a missing wheel bolt and the cops were trying to scare me saying il be looking at 12 points. i went court and got 3 points...
Now that would be funny.Quote:
