What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are a direction indicator lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, a tyre with a lump, bulge or tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure, including any lifting of the tread rubber and excessive fluctuation in brake effort through each wheel revolution. The top issue, a direction indicator lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, caused 6 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.
