I get what you mean. And apologies if I come across a bit coarse, but there are testers who simply invent their own test criteria as i have pointed out. In many cases I had to perform failure repairs as well, but primary role as tester was my preference. The only way i would pass a rotten or holed sill would be on a vehicle without integral structure.. ie a 4x4 with a separate chassis.
But overall as stated the rules are the rules and safety requires them to be followed without making new ones up as you go !

That said, the DVSA are re-writing parts of the test manual all the time, so worth keeping up to date with.
