What to check before the MOT
Built from this model's own failure record, not general advice.
- Start with too high - it accounts for 100% of failed tests on this model.
- Then check too low and excessively loose, the next two most common reasons.
- The most common advisory is less than 1.0 mm thick (8% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
- Average recorded mileage at test is 11,466 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
