What was the nails advice?

I'm surprised a nail in a tyre is only and advise. Would've expected a hard fail for that.

Testers discretion I believe. I think if the structure is OK and a repair can be made they might pass it, but a repair depends on where the nail is and the speed rating of the tyre if I remember correctly.

Tester put an advisory on the Zaf last year for a nail in the tyre. Although it was only a small brad it was in a place that wasn't repairable so I just put some leak stop in the tyre and left it. Unfortunately a few weeks later I got a 1 x 3" piece of steel  through the same tyre, so that proper finished it

Make that fortunately, you could have had a brand new tyre on there.

Very true, silver linings and all that

Tyre all good, tiny little point not causing any air loss and to my eye barely visible my MOT guy has eyes like a hawk !  But that's great to know.
