Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top MOT failures
- 1
Number plate does not meet standards 0.6% of tests
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
- 2
Number plate missing or insecure 0.51% of tests
A missing or loose number plate is illegal and must be fixed before the car is used on the road.
- 3
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.15% of tests
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
- 4
Number plate shows wrong registration 0.14% of tests
A plate not matching the car's registration is illegal and raises questions about the vehicle's identity, so check the V5C.
- 5
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.12% of tests
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
- 6
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.09% of tests
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
- 7
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.09% of tests
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
- 8
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.07% of tests
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Most common advisories
Not a fail yet, but worth pricing in: these show up on a Lamborghini Huracan's MOT certificate most often.
- Tyre worn close to legal limit1.31%
- Tyre slightly damaged or cracking1.26%
- Nail in tyre, monitor0.31%
- Tyre worn close to legal limit0.24%
- Tyre has a shallow cut0.19%
- Shock absorber light oil misting0.15%
