Hi Merlin
You might want to re-visit your tester and ask him to read Section 3.1 of the Testers Manual.
I’ve copied & pasted the relevant section here for your benefit….
You must inspect bonnet catches on vehicles with a bonnet, which would obscure the driver’s view of the road if opened. The inspection is only for primary catches – those that hold the bonnet fully closed. Secondary safety catches aren’t part of the inspection.
