It is permissable for the tyres to rub "on a plate put there specificaly for the purpose" thats the gist of what is written in the MOT Testers manual perhaps he should read it ..
The Morgan sports car has alloy blocks on the side of the chassis for this very purpose too .
Now if your tyres have rubbed through the plate and the plastic liner too then this is excessive and should fail , But just shiny marks on the metal plate put there for the purpose which is what you have where the tyres occasionaly rub when parking ,that is not a fail ...
ask for the appeal form!
