Haven't really found that, had many cars through different CT centres in over 20 years and they have all been unfailingly helpful and professional. Any car with a major fault will now only leave the CT centre on a trailer and be repaired by a professional. I've also had a car with a new (one week old) UK MoT that when presented to the CT had a failure list of a page.
As for Brits sticking to the rules I've seen and known many residents who don't re-register their UK cars.
All in all I've found people will be people wherever they are!

Yes, the testers are helpful and professionnal in most of the contrôles techniques centres. They wish to keep their clients. Anyway, with a car in good condition, no reason to be scared by the contrôle technique. Even if this car is thirty or forty years old.

For british living in France, they could be insured by a French company (not all) for one year, the time to be French plated. However, they are not allowed to go back to UK with a car on English plate with a French insurance. And I believe UK insurance company don't insure people living abroad at full time...
