What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (4.3%) and visibility (2.6%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, tread depth and tyre pressure monitoring system — wipers alone was recorded 12 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 3.5% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 7.9% once past 60-90k — 2.3× the risk.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 22.1% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 4.0% of tests failed in 2022 against 5.7% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.
