Since forever, not sure how long. But it doesn't get checked. All they check is whether the boot opens and shuts properly.

Thats news to me.

I always thought that if it was there they had to test it, and if it was flat/bald it would be at least an advisory.

Spare wheel is not a requirement for an MOT, surprising really as you would think it comes in to it. You don't even need one in the car.

Nope, doesn't even get looked at. there's a few daft things, your speedo doesn't need to be working for example. As long as the correct lights come on and go off. Another daft rule imo.
