What to check before the MOT

- Start with the less effective brake control does not achieve an efficiency of 25% - it accounts for 22.6% of failed tests on this model.
- Then check excessively loose and has a serious fluid leak, the next two most common reasons.
- The most common advisory is tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (9.5% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
- Average recorded mileage at test is 7,173 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
