The bit I’m struggling with is; copper sees a car on Garage Premises without MOT and swoops before car is driven onto the public road? it don’t make sense…Road Traffic Act applies in any place where the public have unrestricted access so supermarket car park, petrol station forecourt…
I used to maintain some vans that a supermarket chain used to use to collect trollies in their car park that never went out off their premises as they had their own petrol stations and they certainly were never MOTed or kept in a particularly road worthy condition. The legal implications had been looked into.
I’m pretty sure they have lost a few court cases for people driving in car parks on the phone.
I recall in my youth being in a town some 20miles away from my home town with some mates in my car on our way home after a night on the lash,(back in the day that you could get away with it) we pulled into a service stn forecourt , as no one had the means of lighting a cigarette , after a altercation with some doormen of all people, the plod appeared, bagged me,(the old crystals that changed colour, un reliable device) and i somehow passed it, anyhow the car had no tax on it, the plod asked were we were heading , and said as you are not on the road and they didn’t have proof of it being driven on the road, they couldn’t report me to DVLA , and that they were going to be parked on the route home (further down the road the garage was on) and if we drove past them they would do us for it, so we had to take a detour,lol

to take this further we would need to know what sort of “garage” I was presuming a workshop auto-repair type garage, in which case it would be extremely odd for the coppers to stop someone moving the car on the ‘garage premises’ after all it may have been at the garage to get an MOT or repaired for one. But I do concede other types of garages do exist
Looking at the police slip the OP was given it happened at the Crossbush service area off of the A27 near Arundel. There’s about 10 HGV parking bays there, a McDonald’s, petrol station and a small motel.

Not sure where this fits in here, but I’m sure it does.

quote … ‘The owners deliberately lied, by saying the crew couldn’t investigate an alarm, because the ship was rolling in heavy seas’
All the more reason for investigating it, I sailed out of Europort in a brand spanking new ship with automated periodically unmaned engine room and within about ten minutes the alarms were going off. The two engineers we carried found out the builders had failed to secure properly two ballast pipes, one on either side that went through the ships side and with the severe rolling the outlets were becoming inlets. Had two drowned rats 
But like you say I can’t see the relevance between that and two bald tyres either
