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, reflector missing or reflecting white to the rear and a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely. 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 39 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.
