Never had a single advisory in ten years of Bird ownership over 150k + miles@tu*. If a motorbike fails an mot the owner should be shot.

I agree with this. I see on a few faecesbook groups I'm on, people regularly say "MOT today- hope it passes". Why would you hope it passes? Surely you have, at the very least, had a good look round the bike yourself- checking bulbs, brake pads, chain, oil leaks etc. (These should be a regular check anyway).
My MOT guy does a perfunctory check, then spends a bit of time chatting bikes and stuff, because he knows I am as meticulous as he is.
