What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely, brake lining or pad worn below 1.0mm and a stop lamp(s) does not illuminate by the operation of both brake controls or remains on when the brakes are released. The top issue, a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely, caused 17 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.
