Where it fails

Each area compared with a typical car of the same age and mileage, in points of pass rate. Tap or hover an area to see what to check.

Exhaust: 4.7% of tests fail on emissions & leaks, against 6.0% for a typical car of the same age and mileage. Listen for a blowing exhaust at start-up and look underneath for oil or fluid leaks.Suspension: 12.1% of tests fail on suspension, against 16.8% for a typical car of the same age and mileage. Listen for knocks over speed bumps and push each corner down: it should settle at once.Lights: 22.5% of tests fail on lights & electrics, against 20.9% for a typical car of the same age and mileage. Walk round the car with every light on, including brake, fog and number plate lights.Tyres: 6.0% of tests fail on tyres, against 8.2% for a typical car of the same age and mileage. Check the tread on every tyre, including the inner edge, and look for cuts or bulges.Brakes: 22.8% of tests fail on brakes, against 12.5% for a typical car of the same age and mileage.

Buying one or MOT due? Check these

  • Handbrake performance 3.9× typical
    Check the handbrake holds the car firmly on a slope.
  • Brake pads 1.5× typical
    Ask when the pads were last replaced and look for a brake-wear warning on the dash.
  • Brake performance 1.4× typical
    On the test drive, brake firmly: the car should stop straight with no pulsing through the pedal.
  • Sidelights
    Walk around with the lights on: bulb failures are the easiest MOT fails to avoid.
  • Headlight aim
    Park facing a wall at night: both dipped beams should sit level and dip to the left.
  • Headlight bulbs & units
    Check dipped and main beam on both sides.
