Technically a fail, morally fine, depends on how staunch the inspector. If failed, would take it to a branded tyre store & get them to supply a signed cert sheet for it "as safe" then go back to get your wof

Pass as long as it hasn't reached the cording.

True but you may only ever see that customer once, by helping them with a simple cert on a simple diagnosis, you may well see them & others of their friends again for more business.

According to the VIRM unless there's cut cords the split has to be "b) a cut or crack in a sidewall or tread more than 25mm long that reaches the cords, " so you could only say it was a fail if you could see cord damage.

Yep but without being able to personally inspect the "cut", we can't say for sure.
