If an old guy turns up with middle aged daughter they’ll assume she’s there to help and deal with the daughter. If somebody has gone to the lengths of bringing a friend to the MOT (it’s not somewhere you go for a date after all) it’s probably because they’re wanting help.
If she turned up by herself they would assume a more general knowledge of cars, which is still far below what she has but wouldn’t be dismissive.
I think you’re assuming something that is not even implied in the text. There’s no misleading or presumption of feeling stupid.
Have you never made this kind of mistake? The cops don’t come out of the walls, you just get schooled for your snap judgement lol. You cop to it, blush, and try to be better. It’s funny.
You’re baiting the mechanic.

Can you see how that might be fun, though?
Yes. It feels fun to make other people look stupid because you’ve misled them.
It’s not very nice though.
