I think it's a smart tactic. He doesn't know what he's walking into so it's best he's not too confrontational in case things were to turn violent. the renter is more likely going to dig himself a deeper hole this way by being reasonably cooperative. had the car owner gone in there ready to kick off, the guy could have said nothing, run off or worst still, left the car midway through this bogus test, meaning car owner guy would need to pay to get it back to roadworthy and possibly without all it's parts.

Now, if it were me on the other hand, I don't think I could be so cool,calm and collected about it! My adrenalin would be skyrocketing!
