What goes wrong?
The most common MOT failure reasons are the aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements, a tyre valve seriously damaged or misaligned likely which could cause sudden deflation of the tyre, a direction indicator lamp missing and inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning. The top issue, the aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements, caused 7 failures in 2024.
