Top MOT failures

1
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.7% of tests
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
2
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.39% of tests
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
3
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.24% of tests
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
4
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.97% of tests
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
5
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.74% of tests
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
6
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.5% of tests
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
7
Windscreen washer jets misaligned 0.4% of tests
Misaligned washer jets leave the windscreen dirty and hard to see through, and are usually simple to adjust.
8
Windscreen washers not working 0.39% of tests
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
