What to check before the MOT

Built from this model's own failure record, not general advice.

  • Start with not working - it accounts for 38.5% of failed tests on this model.
  • Then check less than 1.0 mm thick and insecure, the next two most common reasons.
  • The most common advisory is tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (7.3% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
  • Average recorded mileage at test is 33,437 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
