NCT and testing a car on it's anniversary.

Does anyone else think this lark of testing a car on on it's anniversary is a bit of a scam? The idea of back dating the test to the month of it's registration is a joke, how come with commercial vehicles you test it on any day and you have a years test on it from that day, this method makes a lot of sense to me, what do…
