The tester did say he'd only check the faults he spotted at the time of the test... which didn't include the cracked windscreen!

Thanks for the heads up.
Same for me in Southampton, retest by the same guy but I left it a few weeks just to be sure I had enough time to sort everything. I left booking the retest until I was happy with the car. Got an appointment only a week or so later. He only checked items that failed first time which too about 15mins.

BTW I'm surprise they let you take pictures during the test, they nearly took my camera off me when I wanted to!
