For some places that might be normal MoT but it does seem a bit lax.
They should be checking tyres for tread and no cuts or bumps, fork bushes and seals, swinging arm bearings, wheel bearings and steering head bearings, that all the lights are operative and the headlight is aimed correctly, that there is a rear reflector, that the brakes are efficient (using a rolling road, spring balance or gradient), that the barking system is in good condition with no fluid leaks, that there are no leaks in the fuel system, that the seat and the tank are secure. Also that the bars do not affect the throttle when moved from lock to lock and that the riders hands can't get trapped. That the exhaust is in good condition with no leaks and is not excessively noisy. The exhaust no longer has to be BSi marked and there is no emissions test for bikes, as yet.
I've probably forgotten a few items but that's the most of it.
