What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are brake efficiency below minimum requirement, a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely, on a motorcycle with two front or rear wheels and there is no recorded brake effort at a wheel. The top issue, brake efficiency below minimum requirement, caused 18 failures in 2024. Checking tread depth (1.6mm legal minimum, 3mm recommended) before your test can save an unnecessary fail.
