Around 1.5 million vehicles fail their MOT due to simple things such as faulty bulbs, too little tyre tread, or even empty windscreen washer fluid bottles. It's possible to anticipate most of these issues with a quick check of your car.
Under inflated tyres have an uneven contact patch which means that your gripping capabilities are significantly affected. And if your vehicle is found to have a faulty or failed tyre pressure monitoring system, this will cause you to fail your MOT

This Ministry of Transport test is commonly known as an ‘MOT’.

Are 10 year old tyres an MOT failure?
Tyres that are aged 10 years and older will become a failure item at annual test. If these tyres do not display a date code, they will also fail. As part of the annual test, our Vehicle Standards Assessors (VSAs) will check that each tyre displays a date of manufacture or re-treading.Free Re-test
Can car fail MOT on tyres?
The minimum legal tyre tread depth is 1.6mm and any tyres with less than this will be marked as an MOT 'fail' (though it's recommended that tyres are changed when tread reaches 3mm). If you're in doubt about how much tread is left on a tyre, your local manufacturer main dealer can check for you.
What is classed as an illegal tyre?
To help you judge how much tread you have on your car tyres, manufacturers often mould tread bars at roughly 1.6mm. If you can see these bars your tyres are about to become illegal and unsafe. However, for optimum safety, most manufacturers recommend that your tyres are changed at 3mm.
Lights. Faulty or broken lights are a common cause of MOT failure. Luckily, they're also one of the easiest parts of your vehicle to check yourself before your MOT. At Apsley MOT we have spare bulbs in stock for all types of vehicles.
We check at Apsley MOT in Berkhamsted covering Tring Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment. Your vehicle's front, rear, brake, fog, indicator and registration plate lights and rear reflectors.
If your car has a centrally mounted third brake light (which it doesn't legally need), it has to work. The basic rule is: if it's there, it needs to function. Check the sidewalls for bulges and cracks, as these are not only MOT failures, but highly dangerous at any speed.
As a rule of thumb, yellow and amber warning lights will be listed as an advisory to be repaired if necessary, unless the problem they're indicating conflicts with a requirement of the MOT test. The car will likely fail if the low windscreen washer fluid warning is showing, for instance.
