What to check before the MOT

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

Start with excessively stiff or notchy - it accounts for 27.9% of failed tests on this model.
Then check tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm and does not illuminate by the operation of both brake controls, the next two most common reasons.
The most common advisory is excessively stiff or notchy (3.6% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
Average recorded mileage at test is 22,113 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.
