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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 75.43% | 993 | |
| 6-10 years | 75.14% | 185 |
