MOT Failures: The Most Common Reasons and How to Avoid Them

No one wants to fail their MOT – but around 30% of vehicles in the UK do. At MC Motors, we’ve carried out hundreds of MOTs and noticed the same issues cropping up time and again.

Here are the most common MOT failure reasons:

  • Worn tyres
  • Faulty lights or indicators
  • Brake issues
  • Suspension problems
  • Poor visibility (wipers, mirrors, etc.)

Before your MOT, it’s a good idea to book a quick check or interim service to avoid a fail. You can also book your MOT online for a time that suits you.
