What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (5.3%) and lighting & signalling (2.8%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, brake pads and linkage ball joints — headlamp aim alone was recorded 200 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 7.8% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 14.8% once past 60-90k.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 18.2% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 5.4% of tests failed in 2021 against 11.0% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.
