Possibly a note for a future potential buyer that plastic might be covering something up? Or that the sill structure couldnt be rust checked for something that might fail an MoT? Bit extreme all the same...

it means that they have not been able to check that paticular area as they are not allowed to remove things. so its down as an advisory item.

what they are saying is that the plastic should not be there for the next test but not compulsary to remove it. so its advisory of the said area.

Could be a change in the MOT guidelines?
Different garage?
Different testers?
