What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake, stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning and a shock absorber not functioning or leaking severely. The top issue, significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake, caused 23 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.
