NCT testers shocked by household item they found used as quick fix under car
The NCT has shared a picture of a vehicle on their social media which attempted to use a towel to cover repair works.
The towel covered the car's rear subframe and was within 3 inches of the mounting point to the body of the vehicle.
Unsurprisingly, the driver of the car received a Fail Dangerous result from the NCT.
The NCT has warned people: "Always have a reputable mechanic give your vehicle its annual service."
