What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (7.8%) and emissions & environmental (6.0%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, headlamp aim and malfunction indicator lamp — wipers alone was recorded 67 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 15.4% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 20.7% once past 90-120k.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 24.6% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
