What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely, tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements and brake efficiency below minimum requirement. The top issue, a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely, caused 65 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.
