What to check before the MOT

- Then check does not conform to the specified requirements and grabbing severely, the next two most common reasons.
- The most common advisory is tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (4.4% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
- Average recorded mileage at test is 9,303 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
