Top MOT failures
- 1
Position lamp not working 1.15% of tests
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
- 2
Rear fog lamp not working 1.14% of tests
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
- 3
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.9% of tests
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
- 4
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.71% of tests
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
- 5
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 0.7% of tests
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
- 6
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.68% of tests
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
- 7
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.68% of tests
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
- 8
Registration plate lamp not working 0.61% of tests
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
