What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are reflector missing or reflecting white to the rear, the aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements and a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely. The top issue, reflector missing or reflecting white to the rear, caused 27 failures in 2024. Checking tread depth (1.6mm legal minimum, 3mm recommended) before your test can save an unnecessary fail. You can check prices at Black Circles if you need replacements. If you need repairs before retesting, sites like BookMyGarage let you compare local prices.
